Hello!

Thank you for visiting our team's Walk ALS Georgia fundraising page. We are looking forward to walking united for a cure on Walk Day and hope you will join us. If you want to walk with us – or support a team member who is walking – you are in the right place!

My grandmother Dede Kendall, the nicest, most generous woman I'll ever know passed away due to ALS. Before she passed, she inspired us all by participating in this awesome fundraising walk in 2000. We have since participated in the walk every year. Participating in walkALS Georgia is the least that I can do to honor her memory and support those working on a cure and dealing with this debilitating disease. We are proud to be entering our twenty fourth year and want to make this our best yet!

Please consider donating or joining our team if you would like to have a part in ridding the world of ALS!

Every 90 minutes. That’s how often someone learns they’ve been diagnosed with ALS. In that moment, their life is changed forever. And from that moment on, they are left to navigate an unknown future - a future living with ALS. 

Every 90 minutes. That’s how often someone living with ALS loses his battle because there is no cure for this disease.

We are walking so Georgians living with ALS can get the support they need to live a full life post-diagnosis. It costs on average $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Walk ALS Georgia raises money to provide local care services like direct financial support, respite care, transportation services, and equipment loans to help alleviate that cost for families in Georgia.

We are also walking to support research efforts into treatments and a cure so that an ALS diagnosis is not fatal. Until that day, we will walk on. Join us!
