Hundreds come out to raise money for ALS and support John McCrae Public School teacher Margie Johnson who was diagnosed with ALS last year

Hundreds of community members came together Saturday in an emotional show of support for a local French teacher recently diagnosed with ALS.

More symptoms started appearing in September, and she stopped teaching after her doctors said she should take some time to figure out what was going on. Johnson was using a cane to walk then. In December, she started using a walker, and in February she started using a power wheelchair. When Baskin first learned her wife of nearly 14 years had ALS, she didn’t think it would progress so quickly.
