  • JT Walk & Beach Party

    The 5th Annual JT Walk & Beach Party will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2012 at the Virginia Beach oceanfront boardwalk. What started out as one team in the Hampton Roads ALS walk has now become the National ALS Foundation's largest single day walk and fundraiser, raising over $5 million to date for stem cell research for neurological disorders (including the Robert Packard Center), ALS patient services and the creation of JT's Grommet Island Beach Park & Playground for EveryBODY.
