THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WALKED & DONATED
This year’s walk may be over, but the fight continues. Your support makes a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Join the fight & donate today because every cent counts.
WHY WE WILL KEEP ON WALKING
Josh Thompson was a fun-loving surfer, husband and father of two sons when he was diagnosed with ALS. Josh was a fighter, so he began his courageous 13-year battle with the disease, inspiring thousands to join him to find a cure and assist other victims of ALS.
Through the annual JTWalk, Josh's friends and family achieved extraordinary results, donating millions to ALS research while also making Virginia Beach more accessible to wounded warriors and kids with disabilities.
Josh lost his battle with ALS on October 29, 2020. But his spirit lives on in the hearts and minds of thousands who will never stop walking for him.
Look How Far We’ve Come
For the past 13 years we have come together to support individuals and families in the fight against ALS and we have helped our community become a place where people with disabilities, including our wounded veterans, can experience a life without limits.
