Tuny's Favorite People

As many already know, Tuny was diagnosed with bulbar-onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS--also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease or Motor Neuron Disease) in 2021. Though she has lost her voice and much control over her situation, she remains the same Tuny we have always known and loved. The Greater Chicago chapter of ALS United has provided so much assistance and support for Tuny and our entire family that we feel it necessary to pay forward that support in a monetary effort to help develop the cure that is so badly needed for this disease.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
 
There are four possible ways you can help and/or show your support:

1. Join Tuny's Favorite People and walk with us on June 1 at Cantigny Park
2. Make a donation to our team
3. Spread the word and share this page with your network
4. Cheer on Tuny's Favorite People

 
WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL
 
Each year, over 5,000 individuals are diagnosed with ALS. The disease can impact anyone at any time. That's why we're all about Walk ALS—to spark hope, boost awareness, provide families with free resources, and end ALS. 
 
ABOUT ALS 
 
ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease that steals the ability to walk, talk, swallow, and eventually breathe. At this time, it is unknown what causes ALS and there is no cure. 90% of individuals diagnosed with ALS have no family history of the disease. Let's team up and UNITE in the fight against ALS today!
