A Message from the Walk(s) Chair
As Chair of the ALS United Orange County Walk, I am honored to stand alongside our community in the fight against this devastating disease. ALS touches not only those diagnosed, but their families, friends, and caregivers, and the impact is truly life-changing. While there is no cure yet, every step we take and every dollar we raise brings us closer to breakthroughs in research, stronger support services, and renewed hope for families facing ALS today.
This walk is about more than fundraising—it’s about love, courage, and community. It’s about celebrating the strength and resilience of those living with ALS, honoring the memories of those we’ve lost, and reminding families that they are never alone in this journey. Together, we walk for a future without ALS.
I hope to see everyone join us on walk day—bring your family, your friends, and your passion. It will be a day filled with connection, joy, and purpose, and I promise you will leave inspired. Together, step by step, we can make a lasting difference.
– Jill Harake

About Our Mission
The ALS United Night Walk Kick-off is more than just an event — it’s a heartfelt gathering to build awareness, share stories, and inspire action in the fight against ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
Our mission is to bring the community together in support of those living with ALS and their families. This kickoff event sets the stage for our larger United Against ALS Walk in November, and registration will be open during the evening for anyone ready to take that next step.
Throughout the event, you’ll hear from courageous patients sharing their personal journeys, reminding us all of the importance of compassion, support, and research.
And of course — we’re here to have fun too! Our Shopping Scavenger Hunt with participating stores adds a lighthearted twist to the evening, offering prizes, treats, and connection while raising awareness for a serious cause.
Together, we walk with purpose, hope, and heart. Join us in making a difference.
