Park Rd., Hollywood. The walk begins at 10 a.m. Many of the walkers have a loved one fighting the disease. Others will walk in memory of someone who has lost the battle.

This event raises funds and awareness for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease. There is no known cause or cure. ALS patients, including many in wheelchairs, will join in the event.
