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.

The Les Turner ALS Foundation is here to care for those affected by the disease, answer their questions and support them and their loved ones every step of their journey.

I am running my first marathon the Bank of America Chicago Marathon with purpose!  I am honored to be part of the Team for ALS because I believe in the mission of the Les Turner ALS Foundation! I believe in providing the best possible care to people living with ALS and their families in the Chicagoland area and I believe that the funds we raise together will lead to a cure for ALS. 

This cause is meaningful to me because of the support my friend, Eric Queyquep received during his ALS journey. I am running it in Eric's memory and in memory of Fr. Benjamin Reese, who also battled ALS. I am running it for those battling ALS and their caregivers. With every mile of training and every mile of the marathon, I will pray for them and all who support my efforts.

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