Broken Yolk Cafe Radio: Coach Mark ALS Walk

About this episode

What happens when San Diego basketball, local business, and an entire community come together for a cause bigger than themselves? On this episode of the Broken Yolk Cafe Radio Show, Dave Stall is joined by Billy from Broken Yolk Restaurants, Coach Al, Alexis from the ALS Association, and Matt Soria, San Diego State’s Director of Basketball Operations, to talk about the 25th Anniversary Coach Mark ALS Walk on October 3 at De Anza Cove.At the center of the conversation is Coach Mark Fisher, the longtime SDSU basketball coach who has lived with ALS since his diagnosis in 2011. The guests discuss what ALS does to patients and families, the importance of continued medical research, and how San Diego’s basketball community has rallied around Coach Fisher. Coach Al describes the emotion of walk day—from the Aztec pep band and national anthem to the crowd coming together at the starting line—while Billy shares a deeply personal perspective on loss, gratitude, and appreciating every day.Alexis also shares the remarkable story of a 94-year-old Aztec alumnus from New York who made a $100,000 legacy gift to the Coach Mark ALS Walk Team before his passing. The conversation expands into the many ways people can support the fight against ALS, from walking, volunteering, and sponsorships to legacy giving and donations of property, vehicles, collectibles, or other assets. It’s a reminder that supporting a cause doesn’t always mean writing a traditional check—there are many ways to leave a meaningful legacy.Listen to the full episode for the personal stories behind the Coach Mark ALS Walk and details on how you can participate, volunteer, sponsor, or donate. More than a fundraiser, it’s a celebration of Coach Fisher, the families affected by ALS, and a San Diego community determined to keep moving toward better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.YouTube: @MrDaveStallWebsite: davestall.comBROKEN YOLK CAFE RADIO 09/13/26
