    The Walk to Defeat ALS is sponsored by the ALS Association of Tennessee to raise funds and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe. Come out on September 19 to have fun, raise awareness, and make some friends.

    The ALS Association is the only non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure. Each year, the Walk to Defeat ALSTM brings communities together in the fight against Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Though we walk for various reasons, we are united in our quest to find a cure for ALS.
