Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with no known cure. Here are some key facts:

• Almost 4,000 Canadians currently live with ALS, and 2–3 die daily from the disease.

• Over 33,000 Americans live with ALS, with cases projected to rise.

• Incidence rates range from 1.63 to 3.29 new cases per 100,000 people annually, with provincial variations.

• 80% of patients die within 2–5 years of diagnosis, though 10% may survive a decade or longer.

• By 2040, there could be over 350,000 people worldwide living with ALS.

At ALS Double Play, we unite the ALS community through our events and awareness raising:

• Raise awareness via charity tournaments (golf and volleyball) and our signature Intentional Walk for ALS.

• Support families with our care community and new this year, mental health resources.

• Fund much needed ALS research because today's clinical trials came from yesterday's donations.

Why Your Support Matters

• ALS is the most common cause of neurological death in Canada.

• ALS is an expensive fatal illness, families face $240,000+ in care costs per loved one living with the disease. 

• Whether it is a moment of respite, a talk with someone who understands, a session with a professional who can help, every area where we can help makes a difference.
