16th Annual ALS & MS Walk for Living Brings Community Together
On a beautiful fall morning, hundreds of walkers—plus some adorable dogs—gathered at Leonard Florence Center for Living located in Chelsea for the 16th Annual ALS & MS Walk for Living! This two-mile walk, around Chelsea’s, Admirals Hill, held on October 6, welcomed participants of all abilities, with walkers using wheelchairs, ventilators, or walking on foot. Thanks to your generous support, we met our $100,000 fundraising goal, with all proceeds benefiting the residents at the Leonard Florence Center for Living.
A huge shoutout to honoree Jeffrey Siegal, President & CEO of Geriatric Medical & Surgical Supply, whose heartfelt speech highlighted his company’s long-standing relationship with Chelsea Jewish Lifecare. It was amazing to see his team come out in full force to support this cause!
Maria Stephanos, WCVB Channel 5 anchor and Walk ambassador, reminded us of the true meaning of "living" in the Leonard Florence Center’s name. "Walking into the center, you immediately feel this is a special place," she said.
The day was filled with joy and fun, including a spectacular hip-hop dance performance by Phantom Phenomenon , a petting zoo , face painting , and a delicious BBQ sponsored by Chili’s.
We’re beyond grateful to all our sponsors, including Geriatric Medical (Platinum), A.H.O. A. (Gold), and Independent Newspaper Group (Media Sponsor). Donations are still welcome—visit walkforliving.org or contact Maura Graham at mgraham@chelseajewish.org.
