Keep your eyes on the pies and join us for the 11th annual Kimmswick 5K and 1 mile walk/fun run! Run through historic Kimmswick and along the Mississippi River, the Anheuser Estate and the Windsor Harbor Bridge (the oldest known wrought iron bridge in Missouri). In addition to the in-person live race, we will be offering a virtual option similar to last year's format. In order to allow for social distancing at the start, we will have an "open" start line window from 8:00am-8:15am. Participants can start anytime during that window by crossing the start/finish line. Our event will follow all state local CDC Covid-19 guidelines.

BENEFITING CHARITY
Our Mission | To discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.
About Our Chapter
The ALS Association is the only national not-for-profit organization completely dedicated to fighting ALS.
Our work covers all the bases — research, patient and community services, public education, and advocacy — in providing help, support, and hope to those facing the disease. The ALS Association and the St. Louis Regional Chapter operate under a shared mission— to improve the lives of people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and to leave no stone unturned in search of treatments and a cure.
In the last 12 months:
- Over 700 patients and families have received service and case management
- More than 3,500 hours of caregiver relief were provided
- 175 pieces of durable medical equipment were delivered
- More than 700 cases of nutritional supplements were supplied
The ALS Association St. Louis Regional Chapter is committed to:
- Serving as a public policy advocate for people with ALS. We work on a local, state and national scale to make sure policies serve the best interests of ALS patients and caregivers, to secure funding for ALS research, and to empower patients to speak out to their representatives.
- Providing a robust, multidisciplinary approach to treatment of ALS. We have clinics throughout our service area, each with a team of doctors that can provide complete care to ALS patients — all under one roof. This multifaceted approach to care for ALS patients is scientifically proven to extend the lives of people living with ALS.
- Caring for people and families living with ALS. We provide exceptional care services and the latest resources and information for people with ALS, their families and caregivers. All of our services are provided free of charge.
Our accomplishments are made possible by the generosity of others. From the smallest donation to the largest gift, donors touch the ALS community with hope for the future. For more information about the ALS, the history, and how you can continue to help and support their mission, click here.
