About the 2025 ALS United Walk

For over 40 years, ALS United Mid-Atlantic has worked tirelessly to ensure every person affected by ALS can access the support they need as we come together to find new treatments and a cure for ALS. Our support is made possible by the generosity of our donors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the contributions of our sponsors.

By signing up for the ALS United Walk, you are taking the first step toward ending ALS. Every participant and every dollar donated supports those in the local community facing ALS.

Join us by registering today for the ALS United Walk!

Your Support Makes a Local Impact

ALS Certified Centers and Clinics

We collaborate with some of the best ALS physicians and clinics in our region. These clinics emphasize hope and quality of life in a supportive, family-oriented environment, while enabling patients to receive specialized care during a single visit from a multidisciplinary team of health care professionals.

Research Programs

Thanks to your donations and advocacy, ALS United Mid-Atlantic is now able to lead a bold research agenda that includes significant investments in promising trials. Since 2017, new therapies have been approved by the FDA to treat ALS, including Radicava and Qalsody, bringing hope to the ALS community.

Home Care

The Howard I. Abrams In-Home Care Program provides grants to ALS families to help with the cost of home care and respite while working with a social worker on an individualized long-term plan for care.

Resources for Military Veterans

ALS United Mid-Atlantic is working every day to support people with ALS and their families, including our heroes who have served in the military and who are approximately twice as likely to develop ALS as those who have not served.

Resource & Support Groups

ALS United Mid-Atlantic hosts Support Groups throughout our service region to provide an opportunity for those living with ALS, caregivers, families and friends to be mutually supportive, exchange practical information, and share their experiences. We also provide support groups specifically for caregiver and bereavement support. All groups are free of charge.
