Walk to defeat ALS at State Fairgrounds

On Sept. 21, people living with ALS, family members, friends, caregivers, and others affected by ALS will gather at Indiana State Fairgrounds Celebration Park, 1202 E. 38^th St., Indianapolis, for the 2024 Walk to Defeat ALS Indiana. Check-in will begin at 8 a.m. followed by a 10 a.m. start time.

ALS, often called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It gradually robs people of the ability to walk, move, talk, swallow, and eventually breathe. ALS has no known cause or cure, and the community is coming together to make ALS livable for everyone, everywhere.

Hundreds of people will rally together at Walk to Defeat ALS to fuel the ALS Association’s mission and support people living with ALS in the region. Many who participate have a loved one who is battling ALS while others walk in memory of a loved one who has lost their fight. Some participate simply because they want to make ALS a livable disease for everyone, everywhere while we tirelessly search for a cure.

Walk to Defeat ALS is the No. 1 way to unite and support people affected by ALS in your community. Register at WalkToDefeatALS.org. Registered participants who raise $100 or more receive a commemorative T-shirt.
