Betty’s Run for ALS celebrates, promotes, and channels hope for Albertans affected by ALS, along with their families, friends, and loved ones.
Twenty-seven years ago, Betty Norman had a wish to find a cure for ALS. Despite her battle with the disease, Betty unselfishly used her time and energy to bring her vision to life. In her own words: “I remain determined. I have an important need to find some meaning in my altered life and maybe a justification as to why I was given this horrible disease. I want to make a difference in the time I have left and possibly help future people with ALS.”
Thousands of families, volunteers, and supporters have carried this torch for 27 years, making Betty’s Run for ALS an event that promotes community while inspiring care and hope, year after year. This grassroots event laid the financial foundation to enable the ALS Society of Alberta to grow in supporting people living with ALS across Alberta. Since the very first Betty’s Run in 1997, over $8.5 million has been raised for promising research initiatives, client support services, and loans of specialized medical equipment.
