What is Walk ALS?

Walk ALS serves as the flagship fundraising event for ALS United Greater Chicago. The funds raised through Walk ALS are instrumental in providing patient care and support, advocating for ALS, and supporting research initiatives.
 
Walk ALS is not just about funds raised, it prides itself on the community it builds and the relationships it fosters.
 
Our Walk ALS Peoria event welcomes everyone with open arms. We are honored to have individuals living with ALS, along with their families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors, participate in the event. Additionally, we are grateful for the families who continue to join us in the fight against ALS, even after losing a loved one to the disease.
