Chapter Highlights
The ALS Association Florida Chapter has a NEW RADIO STATION that comes with a free, downloadable app for both Apple and Android devices! Each Walk to Defeat ALS® this Spring will incorporate a radio program on the day of the event that will later turn into a podcast for anyone who didn't get to listen. We will also feature mission podcasts throughout the year. Stay tuned!

The Walk to Defeat ALS® is the #1 way to join the fight of those battling ALS. Every year, thousands of people come together to raise funds that support care service programs, enable cutting-edge research, and advance nationwide advocacy efforts.

ALS Support Groups
Dealing with ALS is physically, emotionally and financially devastating. ALS Support Groups provide a caring, supportive, and open environment for people to gather, connect, and talk with one another. These groups are open to people living with ALS, their families, caregivers and friends. They provide everyone with opportunities to establish a network of valuable resources and sustained support. Our Chapter Regional Program Managers facilitate each meeting and will have speakers on relevant topics combined with time for attendees to share information and provide feedback to one another.

Donate Equipment to The ALS Association Florida Chapter!
The ALS Association Florida Chapter greatly appreciates donations of durable medical equipment (DME), respiratory equipment, and communication devices for use in our Equipment Loan Program. The Program offers temporary loaner equipment, including speech generating devices, to Florida residents with a verified diagnosis of ALS who are uninsured, underinsured, who cannot access their insurance (while in a nursing home or hospice) or who are waiting for insurance approval.
For equipment donations, please contact 888.257.1717 ext. 113.
We will provide an acknowledgment letter to each donor for tax purposes once the donation is picked up by the DME companies that store and maintain our equipment throughout the state, Ability Medical and NuMotion.
Ability Medical and Numotion graciously donate their time and services to help us fulfill our Equipment Loan Program, providing temporary loaner equipment to Florida residents in need with a verified diagnosis of ALS. For more information about our Program, click here.
