It’s strongly encouraged to have a caregiver pre-sent to assist with the movements and to ensure proper positioning. Make sure to wear comfortable athletic clothing. *Irina Fedulow is ...a physical therapist and Board Certified Neuro-logical Clinical Specialist who has treated many individuals with ALS at UCSF, where she has consulted with the ALS and Head-ache institutes. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86262356522 Meeting ID: 862 6235 6522 Passcode: 705675 See more

When you are ready, the Opening Ceremony is available for viewing. We wish we could be all be together on our annual Walk Day but we'll just have to go twice as big next year! Stay Safe. Have Fun. Thank you to each of you for your support of people, families, and caretakers affected by ALS. #sandiegowalktodefeatals #ALSSanDiego 2020 San Diego Walk to Defeat ALS

The ALS Association is joined by a diverse coalition of more than 200 leaders in patient advocacy, business and labor, science, medical research, and more to support a YES vote on Prop. 14. We all agree CA must vote #YESon14 to continue lifesaving treatments and cures for chronic diseases like ALS, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. @CaForCures
