Kamloops displays generosity at annual Walk for ALS
KAMLOOPS — Cloudy skies were unable to cast a shadow over Saturday’s Walk for ALS in Kamloops.
Hundreds of people participated in what was the greatest turnout for the event since it began in the city seven years ago.
The ALS Society of B.C.’s Executive Director, Wendy Toyer, said there were 419 walkers this year and more than $37,000 raised.
“I think what stands out to me is … the number of teams that are here,” Toyer said. “We’re talking teams of upwards of over 100 people together, standing. They’ve all got shirts that are supporting the person that is living with ALS or the person that has been lost to ALS.”
