ALS is not something anyone can face alone. But through walks like this, we’re building something powerful: a community rooted in hope, action, and care.

Lorie lives with ALS and is dedicated to raising awareness, funds, and hope for a future where people affected by ALS feel heard, seen, and supported. She made an impact at the Lethbridge Walk on September 6, 2025, to take steps together toward new treatments and a cure.
