Welcome to our 2010 ALS Walk Website!

$140K raised to date and still counting... the funds continue to come in.

Our community came through again, big time, in 2010 with a wonderful attendance of at least 1000 people plus 25 four footed walkers....dogs. Even the weather cooperated, after a night of rain the sun showed up in the morning and allowed us to enjoy this fun filled family event. Our little community of Halton Hills continues to show what a big heart can do to support the fight against ALS and give hope to the patients and their families who are dealing with this disease.

Thank you so much.....the schools, the churches, the community service clubs, the corporate sponsors, the multitude of volunteers of all ages, the face painters, the pledgers and the walkers, you all make this walk such a success.

A special thank you to our local talented D.J., Salty Dog aka Andrew Salt and the comic juggler, Craig Douglas for their entertainment and Michael the bagpiper who actually lead the whole 4 km walk piping all the way! The Georgetown Kinsmen Club was out in full force too, cooking over 1400 hot dogs. Thanks again to Mayor Rick Bonnette who was a great Master of Ceremonies again this year. Last but not least, a final note of appreciation to our coordinating committee who have worked so hard again since January 2010 to pull this event together. Darlene and Jeff Sutherland, Jana McDonald, Jennifer Martinec, Rob Blackburn, Abbie Vechter, David Scurr, Rosemary Hart-Dibbits, Steve Frost, Raymond Franke, Iain Meldrum, Bianca Radix, Jean Leckie, Sarah Simpson and Tina Bell

Just a note that you can still donate until December 2010 to have your funds count for this years walk and Tim Horton's three local locations have kindly volunteered to donate funds raised during their Smile Cookie campaign day in September to our walk day funds too!

We look forward to seeing you all again for the 3rd Georgetown/Acton WALK for ALS in June 2011!

Yours sincerely,

Mary Jo Knox and Melanie Franke
