The 24th Annual Walk of Hope for ALS will be held on Saturday, September 6th, 2025 in Wakefield, MA. The 3.5-mile Walk begins and ends at the lower Common.

This family-friendly event raises funds that directly benefit ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research at the UMass Chan Medical School.

Gather family and friends, create your team and join us as we raise funds for ALS research. You can walk as a team or as an individual. We encourage you to join in this celebration of hope by walking, and raising money, for those who are living with ALS, or in memory of those who are no longer with us.

Angel Fund President Rich Kennedy and Dr. Robert Brown will kick off the walk at 11 a.m. Walkers will walk the 3.5 miles around LakeQuannapowitt.
