Public Takes Strides for ALS Awareness at Sparks Marina
This weekend, the Reno/Sparks community came together for a worthy cause at the annual Walk for ALS, held at Sparks Marina. The event kicked off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, drawing participants to the scenic location at 300 Howard Drive.
The walk aims to raise both awareness and funds for those impacted by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Organizers emphasized that this event serves as their largest gathering of the year, uniting families and friends to honor their loved ones personally affected by the disease while promoting dialogue about ongoing research and available services.
Participants were encouraged to share stories, learn more about ALS, and get involved with local initiatives. This year’s turnout reflects the community’s growing commitment to supporting ALS awareness and research efforts.
For those looking to contribute further, additional information and resources can be found on the ALS of Nevada website. The success of the walk highlights the power of community in tackling challenging health issues, reminding attendees that collective efforts can make a meaningful difference in the fight against ALS.
