Help Kristin raise money

This year I have the opportunity to combine three things I love...running, University of Illinois and raising money for ALS!  

ALS Association Greater Chicago Chapter raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

That's why I'm running. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: "you have ALS" again. I have seen first hand the impact the ALS Greater Chicago Chapter can have on a family navigating the terrible disease.  Please join me in supporting the ALS Association Greater Chicago Chapter!
