What is ALS?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is the most common form of motor neuron disease. ALS is fatal; there is no cure and little treatment. Most people lose their battle with ALS within two to five years of diagnosis.

2020, 2021 and living through the pandemic has been hard for many of us, now imagine living immunocompromised with ALS, relying on others to help you live each day... Living with ALS in a pandemic sucks!

We originally started the Spike ALS volleyball tournament because our past-President and inspiration Christopher Chiu played in a league at Beach Blast when he started to experience his first symptoms of ALS. Along with Christopher, his teammates wondered why he wasn't able to make plays he usually had no problem with. Additionally, no one noticed Christopher was starting to drag his left foot because they played on beach courts. 

Proceeds from Spike ALS go toward the Christopher Chiu Fellow for ALS research at the University of Toronto.
 
Spike ALS is always played in Christopher's memory. Let's Spike ALS for Christopher and for everyone who lives with ALS.
