ABOUT THE 2026 ALS UNITED WALK AND 5K
Since 1977, ALS United Mid-Atlantic has worked tirelessly to ensure every person affected by ALS can access the care and support they need while we pursue new treatments and a cure. Thanks to generous supporters, we provide comprehensive, compassionate services that enhance quality of life for individuals and families impacted by ALS. No other ALS organization in our region serves patients in such a complete and personalized way.
 
This fall, we invite you to join us at Wilmington Riverfront Park for the 2026 ALS United Walk, an inspiring day to honor, celebrate, and remember those living with ALS while raising critical funds for care service and research programs.
 
We’re excited to introduce a new 5K along the Wilmington Riverfront before the Walk this year! Registration is $35, come join us for the fun and make an even bigger impact. Whether you participate in the Walk or the 5K, donations help fuel essential care programs, innovative research, and hope for the entire ALS community.

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 2026 Delaware ALS United Walk Banner. Add the name of the person you Walk for and a sticker that represents your connection to ALS.
