Making It Possible is a 2026 storytelling campaign from the ALS Society of Alberta, sharing one story each day from a current client, caregiver, family member, supporter, volunteer, or community partner. Together, these stories reflect the strength, resilience, connection, and possibility that exist within the ALS community across Alberta.
Each story shines a light on what is possible when people living with ALS have access to compassionate support, essential equipment, advocacy, community, and care.
Through these stories, we hope to deepen understanding of the realities of ALS while highlighting the meaningful impact of donor support and the many ways Albertans continue to stand Side by Side so no one faces ALS alone.
Here, you’ll find

Caregiver Experiences
Reflections from current and past caregivers, families, and loved ones navigating life with ALS.
