In December of 2022 David Collins found out that his sister was diagnosed with ALS. He was devastated to find out that this disease has no cure, which brings tears to his eyes every time he thinks of it. As soon as he found out that there are an estimated 3000 Canadians living with ALS he decided to take things into his own hands. He immediately went to the Community Events page on the ALS Canada page and registered an event for a motorcycle ride. From there, it just grew to include a BBQ and so much more. David was able to meet others who’s family and friends were impacted by ALS and they were excited that he wanted to do this event and create awareness. -
