On Saturday, September 20, agents with WEICHERT, REALTORS® - MN Real Estate Options participated in the Twin Cities Walk to Defeat ALS® at Lake Phalen. They walked as part of the Joe’s Jokers team in support of their friend Joe Smith, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2013. The Walk empowers people with ALS, family, friends, and the community to fight back against a disease that often leaves many feeling powerless.

“The nearly 70-member team of Joe’s Jokers had a goal to raise $10,000,” said Vicki Schwartz, owner and broker of WEICHERT, REALTORS® - MN Real Estate Options. “We’re thrilled to say that our group exceeded that goal and raised over $12,000 in honor of our friend Joe Smith and in support of finding a cure for ALS.”

The team of knowledgeable agents at WEICHERT, REALTORS® - MN Real Estate Options serves the Twin Cities area and brings numerous years of combined real estate expertise to their clients.

About The Walk to Defeat ALS®

More than just a few-mile trek, the Walk to Defeat ALS® is an opportunity to bring hope to people living with ALS, to raise money for a cure, and to come together for something you care about. The Walk to Defeat ALS® is The ALS Association’s biggest annual event, which raises funds that allow our local chapters to sustain care services and support research for much of the next year.
