On Saturday, June 8, our community will come together to support the Hershey ALS United Walk at Hershey Middle School. 

The Walk is ALS United Mid-Atlantic's largest fundraising event. Because of generous contributions from people like you, our organization can offer truly extraordinary patient care, second to none. Throughout 2023, ALS United delivered a full range of care services programs to enhance the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by ALS. We are unique in that no other ALS organization in our region serves patients in such a comprehensive way.

Every single person knows that their reach is far greater than the miles they walk. It extends to all ALS families, friends, and colleagues.

So, keep on walking. Keep on raising money and keep your positive attitude.

Together, we will make a difference, one step at a time.

Show Your Unity

The ALS United Walk will allow you to see firsthand how your support makes a difference in the lives of people with ALS, and how it gets us closer to our ultimate goal of ending ALS. Whether you are living with ALS, a caregiver, or part of the ALS community, we encourage you to display your role in the movement to end ALS.

Share Your Unity

Unity will be at the core of the ALS United Walk experience. Although each participant has a unique story that brings them to the ALS United Walk, their motivation is the same - to end ALS. To end ALS for someone they love, for their friend, or so that no one else has to suffer through this disease. Only through the power of unity, can this goal be achieved.
