My Story…
Hello all! Welcome to my fundraising page.
For those that don't know, my favourite boss from UBC, who gave me my very first science job after graduating university, was recently diagnosed with ALS.
Right now, it takes 9-12 months to receive an ALS diagnosis, life expectancy is 2-5 years after diagnosis, and it has a 100% fatality rate. These numbers are all unacceptable in today's day and age of medical research, so raising money for the ALS Society is a no brainer.
Please support our team, Knock Out ALS!

The ALS Society of BC was founded in 1981 by ALS patients, their family members and healthcare professionals to meet the physical and emotional needs of people living with ALS and their caregivers. The society provides support services to ALS patients and their family to improve their quality of life while living with ALS; equipment loan program, patient transportation support, support groups, psychological support, a camp for children of ALS patients, day of caring for caregivers and outreach and public awareness. The society also supports ALS research to find the cause of and cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
