We're so excited to see you at our 2023 Walk events! Details about safety protocols will be distributed prior to the event. If you would like to participate but aren’t comfortable attending in-person events just yet, we’ll still provide you with official 2023 Walk to Defeat ALS t-shirts and Unlock ALS materials so that you can participate remotely as well. Thank you for helping us do “Whatever it takes” to defeat ALS!

We will once again be combining the Akron and Cleveland Walks into one big Northeast Ohio Walk at an easy to get to location in Independence.

How to get a 2023 Walk to Defeat ALS T-Shirt


Statistically speaking, someone around the world is diagnosed with ALS every 90 minutes, and every 90 minutes someone loses their battle with ALS. Recognizing the importance of "every 90 minutes," the T-shirt minimum is $90. It is our hope that this minimum will reinforce this critical statistic and help you develop a better understanding of the disease.

Remember - official Walk to Defeat ALS t-shirts are given to registered Walk participants who raise $90 or more. This benefit is awarded to registrants who raise funds, not to teams or donors. If you have a donor who would like a shirt, we recommend asking them to register as a member of your team and make a self-donation.
