The organization has given the justice class at Eagle River Secondary School in Sicamous its Leader of Tomorrow award in the 14-17 age category.
The students were recognized for raising awareness of ALS and organizing a three kilometer walk and BBQ at the school.
ALS is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease that attacks the motor neurons which transmit impulses from the brain to the body’s voluntary muscles.
The muscles eventually lose strength and die.
