Many Steps Taken in ALS Walk of Hope

Brian Molisse and family participate in the ALS Walk of Hope.

The 13th Annual Walk of Hope for ALS took place on Saturday, September 6th from the town of Wakefield, MA, following a scenic 3.5 mile route that runs parallel along the shore of Lake Quannapowit.

Participating in the walk today as part of Team Bolognese Strong were members of the Molisse family, including Kathy Molisse and her brother Brian Molisse who walked with daughters Olivia and Mariah.

The walk begins at 11:00 am after a release of white doves, and there are many fun family friendly activities taking place throughout the day. A highlight of the event this year was the Group Ice Bucket Challenge that was held with more than 500 people joining in!
