Students from a National Honor Society committe volunteered at the ALS walk Saturday, Oct. 9. They helped set up ALS information tables, set out water bottles for the walkers, and helped with registration, KidsZone and parking at the event.

     “I chose this walk because I volunteered for this specific walk before when I cheered,” senior Ella Bartkoski, the leader of this NHS committee said. “It is an amazing organization, and I knew I wanted to do it again.”

Toney decided to participate in the walk because she wanted to help a cause that connects to her personally. “My brother-in-law was diagnosed with ALS in 2013, so he has been battling ALS for the past eight and a half years. ALS is central to our family because my husband is also a caregiver for him,” Toney said.
