ABOUT THE 2024 LEHIGH VALLEY 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.

Because of generous contributions from people like you, our organization can offer truly extraordinary patient care, second to none. Throughout 2023, ALS United Mid-Atlantic 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 person knows that their reach is far beyond the miles they walk. It extends to all ALS families, friends, and colleagues. Every dollar donated means more care service programs, research, and progress toward a cure.

UNITED TO END ALS

---

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.

At the Walk, sign our 2024 Lehigh Valley ALS United Walk Banner. Add the name of the person you Walk for and a sticker that represents your connection to ALS.

Participants add stickers at the Hershey Walk.

Miss Northeastern PA signs the Scranton Walk Banner.

After picking up their signs, participants share why they Walk.

 

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.
