Everyone is invited to participate, not only to promote healthy activity but also to support this cause.<\/p>\n<p>Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as ALS, Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease, or motor neuron disease) is a disease that gradually paralyses people because the brain is no longer able to communicate with the muscles of the body that we are typically able to move at will. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. There are no effective treatments yet for ALS and no cure. Approximately 80% of people with ALS die within two to five years of being diagnosed. Approximately 3,000 Canadians are currently living with ALS.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in participating, you can registry by completing and submitting the form below to Ms. Jos\u00e9e Bouchard (jbouchard@richmont-mines.com) and Mr. Sylvain Drolet (c.c.: sdrolet@richmont-mines.com).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ALS-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1928\" src=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ALS-01-461x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ALS-01-461x600.jpg 461w, https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ALS-01-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ALS-01.jpg 719w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richmont &#8211; Island Gold and\u00a0&#8220;Let&#8217;s Roll Out ALS &#8211; 25k 25y&#8221; are\u00a0organizing the inaugural Run &#8216;n&#8217; Roll for ALS.
