Mary Pollock Walk To D’Feet ALS Volunteer Award

On May 31, 2003, the Yates family was honoured with the first Mary Pollock Walk to D'Feet ALS Volunteer Award during the ALS Society of Alberta's Annual General Meeting luncheon in Calgary. Having worked to make the Walk to D'Feet ALS successful across Alberta over the past years, Chris, Teddy and Heather Yates were honoured for their active contribution in the advancement of ALS research and services.

Since 2001, the Yates family have taken their passion for the Walk to D'Feet ALS across Alberta; from Lethbridge to Didsbury and Medicine Hat to Cold Lake, they have inspired families affected by ALS through their tireless commitment.

The Mary Pollock Award celebrates exceptional contributions and achievements in developing the Walk to D'Feet ALS, on behalf of Mary Pollock who died of ALS in 2000. Nationally, the Walk to D'Feet ALS has raised nearly $2 million since it began.
