Incorporated in 1984, the ALS Society of Prince Edward Island is a non-profit organization that works with service clubs, private industry and healthcare providers to support Islanders living with and affected by ALS.
Throughout our history, we have seized every opportunity possible to educate, not only families and the general public about ALS, but also students in RN, RCW and LPN programs, Home Care teams, and Community Service Groups.
In 2004, Stan MacNevin and Ronnie MacLennan, put their faces behind our first ALS Walk. It is through the countless efforts of such individuals and many families who have lived, or who are now living, with ALS, that the ALS Society continues to grow in addressing the needs of people living with this disease.
There is no cure for ALS, but more and more, we are learning what can be done to enhance life. Funds from the ALS Walk and other fundraising activities have enabled us to buy BiPAP machines to provide non-invasive home ventilator support, Cough Assist Units, ceiling tracking, and stair lifts. 40% of funds raised from the walk go towards research in efforts to end ALS
