Well over 1,000 marchers in stylish purple shirts took to the Parkway and other arteries in Ottawa Saturday to raise funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more familiarly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
ALS sufferer Carol Skinner, whose struggle with the incurable disease was documented by columnist Kelly Egan earlier this month, was at the head of the parade as it left the Canadian War Museum in LeBreton Flats, sent off by an pipe and drum band.
Carol Skinner who is living with ALS was in the lead in the ALS Walk that kicked off at the Canadian War Museum Saturday.
The purple wave wound its way through the city’s west end.
ALS organizations had set a target of $120,000 for donations and, early in the march, were confident the target had been met.
