Did you know the lifetime risk of developing ALS is just 1 in 300? There is no known cure for ALS and, once diagnosed, patients typically live only three to five years. These are alarming facts about ALS, but we can help change the course of the disease and ensure that progress is made towards finding life-enhancing treatments and a cure.

I am participating in the Chicago Marathon as part of Team Race for ALS to run for those who no longer can. My friend's family has been effected by ALS, and I've seen the implications how this disease can turn people's lives upside down. The Les Turner ALS Foundation is an organization that strives to educate the public, provide care to those living with ALS, and ultimately, fight for a cure to protect future generations. This cause is important to me and I’d greatly appreciate your support of my efforts.

Please consider making a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal. Together, we can make an impact and create a world free of ALS.
