鈥淎fter having teammates and friends pass away from the deadly effects of ALS, I was moved to lend a hand of support,鈥� said Move to Cure ALS spokesperson Wally Buono, vice-president of the B.C. Lions. 鈥淎s we all gather to beat ALS by participating or supporting financially Move to Cure ALS, we all work together to find a cure.鈥�
