FAQ

About Registration 

How can I register? 

To register, click on the “Register” button and choose the Walk you would like to participate in. 

If you are having difficulty registering, please consult this guide (Coming soon), which explains the registration process step by step. 

If I registered last year, how do I register this year? 

If you have already participated in the Walk to End ALS, you can use the same account (email address and password) as last year. 

  • Click on the “Login” button at the top right to access your account. 
  • Select the Walk of your choice by clicking here. 
  • Follow the instructions to complete your registration. 

Note: You will need to create your team again (you can use the same team name as last year) and customize your page.

Can I register on site? 

Yes, it is absolutely possible to register on the day of the event. 

However, we encourage you to register online if you would like to start collecting donations before the Walk. 

What if there is no Walk in my region? 

If no Walk is organized near you, you can create your own walk in your own way and raise funds to support ALS Québec. 

With the “Remote” option, you can gather with your family and friends at a place and time of your choosing, whether during the summer or fall. Every step counts toward advancing research and supporting families affected by ALS.

About fundraising, donations & tax receipts 

Where do the donated funds go? 

Funds raised through the Walk to End ALS allow ALS Québec to continue its mission of supporting people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and their loved ones. 

  • 60% of the funds raised are dedicated to direct support for families, including accompaniment services, psychological support, and support groups. 
  • 40% of the funds are invested in research to better understand the disease and accelerate the discovery of treatments. 

Can I participate without fundraising? 

Yes. However, the Walk to End ALS is first and foremost a fundraising event. We therefore encourage each participant and each team to raise donations to support affected families and help advance research toward a future without ALS. Every donation counts. 

What to do with cash and checks your donors have given you?
