Jane Rivest, M.S.M.
Calgary, Alberta
After losing a loved one to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Jane Rivest founded Betty’s Run in 1997, now the ALS Society of Alberta’s signature fundraising event. The event draws awareness to the disease, while providing funds for research and specialized equipment that allows patients to remain in their own homes. Ms. Rivest’s support for patients and their families aims to provide compassionate care during their most challenging times.
