Compassionate Care ALS

06/23/2026

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Elizabeth Partridge Heald.

Betsy was a wonderful friend, a champion for people living with ALS, and a foundational piece of Compassionate Care ALS history. Betsy's dedication to the ALS community helped create the Gordon T. Heald Fund, which allowed CCALS to start serving ALS families in need.

Betsy will be forever love and missed. 💚

🏔️ Climbing with Compassion: 29,029 Feet for ALS

For 5 years, Jason Chorches has been a cornerstone of the CCALS community. On July 23–26, he’s taking his dedication to new heights by tackling the 29029 Everesting challenge at Mont Tremblant!

Jason will hike the mountain 15 times within 36 hours to reach 29,029 vertical feet—the equivalent of Mount Everest.

He is pushing his limits to raise vital funds and awareness for the 1,500+ families supported by Compassionate Care ALS. Let’s help Jason reach the summit! Support his climb and donate today. 🧗‍♂️💙 https://ccals.org/events/climbing-with-compassion-2026/
