A Message from the Walk Chair

As Chair of the ALS United Orange County Walk, I am honored to stand alongside our community in the fight against this devastating disease. ALS touches not only those diagnosed, but their families, friends, and caregivers, and the impact is truly life-changing.

While there is no cure yet, every step we take and every dollar we raise brings us closer to breakthroughs in research, stronger support services, and renewed hope for families facing ALS today.

This walk is about more than fundraising—it’s about love, courage, and community. It’s about celebrating the strength and resilience of those living with ALS, honoring the memories of those we’ve lost, and reminding families that they are never alone in this journey.

I hope to see everyone join us on walk day—bring your family, your friends, and your passion. Together, step by step, we can make a lasting difference.
