Thanks for checking out my fundraising page! I first learned about ALS when I interned for ALS TDI's Tri-State Trek in my 20's. Over the years, I have learned more about the ALS community and have befriended several amazing advocates. Today, I oversee patient advocacy and engagement efforts at a small biotech company called Prilenia where we are planning for a phase 3 ALS study in the second half of 2024.

Here are some facts about ALS:

• The lifetime risk of developing ALS is 1 in 300

• There is no cure for ALS

• Patients typically live only three to five years

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 participating in the Life Time Chicago Spring Half Marathon and 10K as part of Team Race 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 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.
