Hike for ALS

FRIDAY, 24 AUGUST 2007

The Hike4ALS is a joint partnership between the ALS Society of Canada and the ALS Society of Ontario. Hike 4 ALS supports ALS research and client services for those living with ALS and their families. The Hike will be held at the Kortright Centre for Conservation in Woodbridge, Ontario on September 29, 2007. The Centre is a natural oasis located on 324 hectares of pristine woodlands along the Humber River Valley. Experience 10 KM of hiking trails from the boardwalk through the marsh to the scenic lookout points in the forest.

Participants should pre-register online and is encouraged to solicit donations. To make fund raising easy, each registered participant will be able to set up a personal web page with access to online fund raising tools. Hikers will experience a wonderful day outdoors as they hike 10 km along the trails at Kortright. You can enjoy the beautiful surroundings, take pictures of the spectacular views, and have your lunch along the way. Hike and chat with your friends and family or meet new people who love the great outdoors and are interested in being active.

Participants form teams, hike with friends or family and some participate individually in this event. A growing interest in outdoor pursuits and healthy activity makes this event is perfect for everyone. Some of the participants out on the trails are outdoor enthusiasts, day hikers, part of the ALS family, and some were just wishing to support a great cause.

Take your time and leave the rush of the city behind you. This day is about being in the great outdoors, exploring the trails and raising money in support of ALS. Join us out on the trails in Fall 2007 and “hike the trail to help us prevail.”
