The Kentucky Chapter of the ALS Association will stage its fourth annual
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a devastating and always fatal neuromuscular disease. Unless a cure is found over 30,000 Americans living today will die from ALS. The financial cost to families of persons with ALS can be up $200,000 per year, depleting entire savings of patients and relatives.
For the second year, the walk will incorporate a silent auction. The auction begins at 8:30 a.m. and will run until around noon.
Last years event drew over 500 walkers and raised over $45,000 for cutting-edge research and vital patient services. The ALS Association Kentucky Chapter is a 501 (C) (3) not-for-profit organization. We are supported by the generosity of corporations, individual donations, memorial funds and tributes, and our own fundraising efforts. All donations made to the Chapter will go to fund patient services within the state and research at the national level.
