ALS WALK SEPT. 6 - Residents can enjoy outdoor recreation while supporting a cause. On Sept. 6, the Angel Fund is holding its annual Walk of Hope for ALS, a 3.5-mile walk around Lake Quannapowitt. The Angel Fund is a Wakefield-based nonprofit that supports research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory for Neuromuscular Research. ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig disease, is a fatal neuromuscular disease. The Sept. 6 event will be held rain or shine, with registration at 9 a.m. and the walk at 11 a.m. In addition to the walk, it will include children's activities, a display of classic Corvettes, music, and refreshments. To register as a walker or a team, call 781-245-7070 or go to theangelfund.org. Last year, the event raised $128,000. - John Laidler
