In March 2022, our dear friend and life long Trail resident, Aladina Sheets, was diagnosed with ALS. Aladina was loved by all, known for her strength, resilience and ability to illuminate the lives around her. Aladina’s fight with ALS sadly ended on April 22, 2024. Aladina and her family were very thankful for the support they received from the ALS Society of BC over the last two years.
Help us honour her memory, and those who may be affected in the future by donating and joining us for the 2024 Move to Cure ALS walk. Although Aladina will not be with us physically this year, she was passionate about us all getting together for this important fundraising day. The official West Kootenay - Move to Cure ALS event will be held at Gyro Park in Trail, BC on Saturday, June 1, 2024.
The Move to Cure ALS is the signature fundraising event for the ALS Society of British Columbia. The fun, family-friendly events unite people to celebrate hope for a future without ALS, honour those we have loved and lost, and support the people and their families living with the disease by "Moving" together towards a cure for ALS, whether walking, running, rolling, supporting or being present virtually or in person.
All funds raised stay in BC and the Yukon to support people living with ALS, patient care and ALS research through PROJECT HOPE. Our goal is to end ALS through a world-class ALS Centre at The University of British Columbia. 100% of net proceeds to the ALS Society of British Columbia will remain in BC to support patient services programs (60%) and research (40%) through PROJECT HOPE.
Thank you for joining us in supporting the ALS Society of British Columbia.
