2023 Chicago Marathon

Strength, Courage, Hope

We are pleased to announce the Sterbis brothers are coming out of marathon retirement to raise money for a cause that was very important to Erin.  One of Erin’s many accomplishments and something she was very proud of was raising money for The Les Turner ALS Foundation Walk for Life in the fall of 2021.  With a disease that makes you feel so helpless at times, she felt accomplished in that she was truly making a difference by incredibly surpassing even her own fundraising goals.  My brother and I would like to carry on her fundraising efforts for this very important charity in her honor.

We have joined Team Race for ALS and will participate in the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on behalf of the Les Turner ALS Foundation. We believe in the work of the Les Turner ALS Foundation, we believe in providing the best possible care to Chicagoland area ALS patients and their families and we believe that the money we raise together will lead to finding a cure for ALS. Join Eric and I as we race towards more than a finish line, we race towards a CURE!

 The money we raise together goes toward helping people currently living with ALS and their families through the Foundation’s Home and Community Service and grant programs. It also supports the Les Turner ALS Research and Patient Center at Northwestern Medicine where PALS are seen by a multi-disciplinary clinical staff at the Lois Insolia ALS Clinic, ensuring no part of their disease goes unseen and untreated. The Center also supports full functioning research laboratories, each providing hope of a future without ALS.
