Walking in Memory of Paul Campbell

Six years ago, my husband, Paul Campbell, lost his courageous battle with ALS. While the years have passed, my commitment to honoring his memory and helping others facing this devastating disease has only grown stronger.

Paul was a devoted husband, a loyal friend, a gifted public servant, and someone who believed deeply in giving back to his community. Even during his illness, he faced every challenge with remarkable grace, dignity, and courage. Those qualities continue to inspire all of us who were fortunate enough to know him.

After Paul's passing, I made a promise that I would continue supporting the fight against ALS in his memory. Thanks to the incredible generosity of family, friends, and colleagues, Team Campbell has raised more than $40,000 in support of the ALS community, helping fund vital services for individuals and families living with ALS while advancing research toward better treatments and, one day, a cure.

This Year's Walk

This year's Team Campbell Walk will be especially meaningful.

Paul's longtime friend, Bob Burke, owner of Pot au Feu, has generously offered to lead us on a walking tour through the historic streets of Providence. A gifted storyteller and lifelong Providence restaurateur, Bob will share the fascinating history of the city Paul loved so much.

Following the walk, we'll gather for lunch at the Independence Trail Colonial Tavern, where Bob has graciously arranged for us to enjoy a menu inspired by the traditional foods that would have been served in a colonial Providence tavern.

I can't think of a more fitting way to honor Paul. He loved history, he loved Providence, and he treasured good conversations with good friends.

Whether you are able to join us for this special walk or simply support Team Campbell with a donation, I would be deeply grateful. Every contribution helps the ALS Rhode Island provide critical services to individuals and families living with ALS while supporting the research that brings us closer to a world without ALS.

Thank you for remembering Paul and for continuing to stand with those whose lives have been touched by ALS. Together, we can bring hope to families facing this disease today while working toward the day when ALS is no longer a devastating diagnosis.
