'He’s pretty awesome': R.M. Moore rallying behind teacher diagnosed with ALS

With the national Walk to End ALS taking place this Sunday in Sault Ste. Marie, R.M. Moore Public School students, staff and teachers have organized their own Walk to End ALS event in support of a member of their school family.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known as ALS or as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a neurological disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement used for walking, talking and chewing.

The school walk will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday with students, staff and teachers walking around the school’s perimeter and playing games.“We’ll have a full house out there,” Clement said. “George’s wife started a team called ‘Go Gomes Go’ for the national Walk to End ALS and so we joined the team and all the proceeds go to ALS research,” Clement said.

R.M. Moore students, staff and teachers will be in the national Walk to End ALS beginning at the Roberta Bondar Park on Sunday. Registration time is 9 a.m. The walk starts at 10 a.m. “George is a great guy,” Clement said.
