ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Progress
The 2020 Detroit Walk to Defeat ALS will now be held WHEREVER you call home!
That’s right! To prioritize the safety of all involved - Host Your Walk at home with your friends and family! Walk, run, ride or drive to defeat ALS. Together we will celebrate, honor, and remember our loved ones.
We are asking you to organize your idea to WALK YOUR WAY, on Saturday, October 3, 2020 at 10:00 am in your community for opening ceremonies. Engage your family, friends, and neighbors. The event has now “come” to your community. Take a walk or ride around your neighborhood - get your local police and fire departments involved, spread the word about ALS, host a pre-Walk or post-Walk gathering, take lots of photos and videos to share with us and make new memories!
