Brought to you by the ALS Society of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The annual ALS Walk Strong fundraiser brings people together across our two provinces and beyond to support individuals and families living with ALS. Whether you join us in person, participate virtually, or host a Family and Friends Walk in your own community, every step helps strengthen care close to home. If your loved one receives support from our ALS Society in NB and NS, but you live elsewhere, you can still walk where you are and help the local team supporting your family!

ALS Walk Strong is the ALS Society of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia’s primary fundraiser. Funds raised help people living with ALS stay safe and comfortable at home for as long as possible with greater independence and dignity.

A major part of this support is our Equipment Loan Program, which provides essential medical equipment at no cost to clients, including breathing support such as BiPAP, cough-assist devices, suction devices, hospital bed packages, patient lifts, and power wheelchairs.

Because of our community and the success of the Walk Strong fundraiser, we have been able to loan an average of $413,600 worth of equipment each year over the last two years, including $374,586 this year and $452,615 the year before, all at no cost to clients!

We may not be able to change the outcome of ALS, but together we can change the experience. Whether you have a team or will be participating individually, join us and help ensure ALS families in our community have the support they need, when they need it most.
