Huntsville's third annual Walk to D'Feet ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) is Saturday.

Check-in and registration starts at 9 a.m. at Alabama A&M University's Louis Crews Stadium, near North Memorial Parkway and Winchester Road.


Last year's walk drew about 450 people and raised $106,000 for ALS research and patient service programs. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a fatal neuromuscular disease that affects an estimated 350 Alabamians, including at least a dozen in Madison County.

For information on Saturday's walk, call the ALS Association's Alabama chapter at 519-9030 or visit www.alsalabama.org.
