Get in step to help fight ALS BY LORNA MCWILLIAMS Community contributor
T
he 12th annual Walk to Defeat ALS will be held Saturday, Oct. 3, at The Park at River Walk in Bakersfield. The walk will help raise money for local patient services and increase awareness of ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, in Kern County. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with ALS, then this event will allow you to get more information and meet others with this progressive disease. Over the past 10 years, the Bakersfield community has contributed over
$1 million, making the Bakersfield walk one of the most successful events for the Golden West Chapter of the ALS Association. This success is the result of countless people in our community working hard to improve the lives of those afflicted with ALS. The biggest thrill is seeing all those people, friends and strangers alike, parading around the park in support of our cause. Once again, we call upon the can-do spirit of our community to help those in need. The ALS Association has been there to help Kern County ALS patients and their families through their most diffiPlease turn to WALK / 2
