-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is more than a cause remembered best by dumping a bucket of water over your head or grainy footage and newspaper clippings of New York Yankees great Lou Gehrig.It's a crippling disease that takes life away from a person before causing death. The second annual ALS Steps for Hope is a chance to honor loved ones who suffer from the disease, remember those who lost their battles and raise funds for research that one day will lead to a cure.
The public is invited to join ALS Steps for Hope on Oct. 3, for a one-mile walk through Wildwood Park and Zoo in Marshfield. You can register online or before the walk at the park. A short program begins at 11 a.m. followed by a walk at 11:30 a.m. At noon, a picnic lunch/social with door prizes and raffle winners will be announced.
Cost is $20 for adults and children eight years and older. Registration includes a T-shirt, lunch and a chance for door prizes. Children under eight are free.
