About ALS Canada Revolution Ride
The ALS Society of Canada developed Revolution Ride to inspire and spark action: to increase awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), expand our community, and raise funds to ensure sustainable investments in community-based support services for people and families in Ontario, provincial and federal advocacy efforts, and the most promising ALS research in Canada.
Revolution Ride is a volunteer-powered fundraising event that unites recreational, intermediate, and avid cyclists who want to challenge themselves to do more to support those we have loved and lost or who are facing ALS today. Who rides with us? You’re compassionate, authentic, bold, and adventurous.

What You Will Be A Part Of
A charitable organization that lives its values of accountability, collaboration, compassion, integrity, dynamic, and respect, ALS Canada works with the ALS community to improve the lives of Canadians affected by ALS through advancing research, care, advocacy, and information. Our world is challenging. The people we serve are dealing with a devastating illness. But through it all, their resilience and spirit are remarkable and moving. You will be touched by the community and will find a way to engage naturally and effectively.
Grounded in and informed by the Canadian ALS community, we respond to the urgent unmet need for life-changing treatments by investing in high-quality research that will fuel scientific discovery and by engaging industry, supporting increased clinical capacity, and advocating for equitable, affordable, and timely access to proven therapies.
Responding to the tremendous need for current and credible ALS knowledge, awareness, and education, we empower Canadians affected by ALS to navigate the current realities of ALS, be informed consumers of ALS information, and advocate effectively for change. In Ontario, we provide direct community services to help people navigate ALS.
Founded in 1977, we are a registered charity that receives no government funding – our work is powered by generous donors who share our vision of a world free of ALS.
Volunteering with ALS Canada is an opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of all those affected by ALS, to give back to your community, to meet new people and to have fun!
Together, we are moving closer to a world free of ALS!
