Jennifer Rhode was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 33 in July of 2017. Just 2.5 short years later she lost her battle against ALS in February of 2020. Just as hard and as beautifully as Jen lived, she fought. Jen spent those 2.5 years taking many bucket-list trips with her friends and family and living life to the fullest. But she also spent a lot of her days taking part in numerous research studies - knowing it would most likely not benefit her, but hopefully someday soon, provide better treatment options for people living with ALS and eventually a cure. She also relied heavily on the Les Turner ALS Foundation and knew how important and vital they are for people living with ALS.

We will continue to participate in the ALS Walk for Life in memory of Jen because we believe in the mission of the Les Turner ALS Foundation, we believe in providing the best possible care to people living with ALS and their families in the Chicagoland area and we believe that the funds we raise together will lead to a cure for ALS. This cause is important to us and we would greatly appreciate your support of our efforts.

ALS is scary. Really scary. Its rapid progression can mean tomorrow is often worse than today. As a result, people living with ALS are overwhelmed and unsure of what questions to ask and what to do next. But that’s where the Les Turner ALS Foundation comes in. The 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’m proud to be a member of the Les Turner ALS Foundation family.

We have a goal for our team of $1,000 please help us reach this goal. To learn more about ALS or the Les Turner ALS Foundation, please visit lesturnerals.org.

Walk for HOPE. Walk for HELP. Walk for LIFE.
