“The ALS Association and Florida Chapter are doing a tremendous job and we’re honored to support their massive research efforts. For all of those fighting this battle, we are committed to supporting research and advancement of ALS treatments. I lost my father to ALS in 2012. He was a fighter every step of the way. I’ll always admire his gift of giving back, an important trait he instilled in me,” says Stephen Shanton, president and CEO of Venture Construction Group of Florida, founder of the Shanton ALS Foundation.

The Walk to Defeat ALS is The ALS Association’s largest annual event. Funds raised have a direct impact on the advancements of global ALS research and public policy initiatives aimed at finding treatments and a cure for the disease. Established in 1985, The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure. With the world’s largest ALS research program, The ALS Association is active in more than 150 labs around the globe.
