Submit to March of Faces
Honor a loved one by including them on a March of Faces banner this year, which will be displayed at the ALS Walk for Life with banners from prior years going back to 2003. The ALS March of Faces is a pictorial display of the courageous women and men—both past and present—who have had or have ALS.
The banners travel with the Foundation and are displayed at various events throughout the year, including the ALS Walk for Life. In addition to honoring those who have had or have ALS, the names and photos may also be submitted to raise global awareness with the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations. Honor your loved one today – there is no cost to be included in the March of Faces but, donations to bringing us closer to a world without ALS are welcome.
For more information, please email education@lesturnerals.org.
If you have previously participated in March of Faces you do not need to submit again.
