Are Team Captains required to attend? We highly encourage Team Captains to attend but attendance is not required. If you cannot attend, please send another member or supporter from your team! For those unable to attend, our Greater San Diego Chapter staff will be available leading up to the Walk via face-to-face, phone, email, or conference call in order to learn more about your team and help you reach and exceed your team goals! 

Why is this important? As the leader of your team, you have a powerful impact by helping to fund:

  • Care services for those living with ALS, such as transportation, educational seminars, referrals and equipment loans.
  • Global research in more than 126 research labs spanning eight countries. That’s right---you’re funding genetic research, clinical trials, and promising new scientists.
  • Grassroots and nationwide advocacy to ensure those living with ALS don’t lose access to resources provided by government programs. You’re also funding legislative initiatives to speed the development and approval of new treatments, secure $80 million annually in government funding of ALS research, and enhance the quality of life of people with ALS, such as eliminating the 24-Month waiting period for Medicare or preserving access to complex rehab technologies. 

But you know what? The Walk to Defeat ALS is more than that.

It’s the one time every year you can join with other families who understand your journey. It’s the time we come together as a community to celebrate, honor, and remember our loved ones.

It’s your chance for your team to show support for a loved one living with the disease, because together, we can DEFEAT ALS. 

 Thank you for being a Team Captain. Let’s gooooooooooo!
