What is a Micro Walk?

You start with a group of friends, family members, co-workers or classmates who want to help fight ALS. You work together to collect pledges, write letters and encourage everyone to build as much awareness as they can. When you are done, you gather together to celebrate your accomplishments with a walk, a barbecue or, really, anything you want. The Walk for ALS will be held across Alberta in the month of June 2010. You could hold your own Micro Walk then, or at another time.

How can I hold a Micro Walk?

Just get started. Ask people to participate with you. Contact the Society for all the pledge forms you will need. Let us know where you are so we can include you on our map. Start writing letters and collecting pledges. Be creative!

What will the ALS Society do for us?

• We provide all of the pledge forms!
• Everyone who raises $100 receives a Walk for ALS baseball hat or shirt 
• Ideas, ideas, ideas!

A Micro Walk can be anything I want it to be?

Sure. It doesn't just have to be a walk. It could be a part of a family or school reunion. It could be an activity for your team, class or club. You could have a barbecue, picnic or block party. You could do it at work. You could get your friends together for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or you could go golfing fishing or camping. The only limit is your imagination.

The important thing is that people who have been touched by ALS write letters & raise pledges, then get together to celebrate their hard work.
