Welcome to Delaney's Fundraising Page!
*February 2024 Update*
Since I hit my fundraising goal SO quickly, I've decided to up the stakes! Let's see if we can raise $5,000 for ALS and the Les Turner Foundation!
I've always wanted to run a marathon.
I was always too scared to actually sign up; however, the past few years of watching my uncle fight ALS has taught me many things, including the importance of valuing the physical abilities you have. This year, I've decided to challenge myself to not only train for and run a marathon, but to raise money towards the Les Turner ALS Foundation. Training for a marathon is a challenge a fraction of the size of what my uncle faces everyday.
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 participating in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon 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.
