🏒 In September on Parliament Hill, NHL Alumni Mark Kirton shared his powerful fight against ALS, joined by friends, family, and hockey legends like Wayne Gretzky and Darryl Sittler. In an emotional moment, Gretzky called Kirton a "hero," reflecting on their longtime friendship and Kirton’s relentless advocacy for ALS awareness and funding. Sittler echoed the sentiment, likening Kirton’s resilience to Terry Fox, acknowledging his drive to make a difference. 🏒 With support from hockey-world figures like Brendan Shanahan, Dave Poulin, and more, Kirton’s ALS Super Fund has raised over $1M in just nine months—proof that change is possible with community and collaboration. Read the full story here: Join us on December 5, 2024, for Courage to Fight: Together We End ALS — a free virtual event dedicated to raising awareness and supporting ALS research. Stand with Mark and advocates around the world as we fight for a cure. Let’s end ALS together! #EndALS

This Remembrance Day, we honour those who served and sacrificed in defense of freedom — and we extend our remembrance to all who’ve faced battles closer to home, especially those lost to ALS. At ALS Canada and The ALS Super Fund, we remember the courage and resilience of those impacted by ALS, who, like the heroes we honour today, have faced their own profound challenges with dignity and determination. In their memory, we carry forward the commitment to fund ALS research, support affected families, and continue the journey toward a cure. Today, we remember all who have shown us the strength of the human spirit. Tomorrow, we renew our promise to fight ALS with the same courage they embodied. #RemembranceDay #EndALS
