2024 Walk ALS Chicago

Team Rafacz

ABOUT ALS 

ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease that steals the ability to walk, talk, and eventually breath. 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. 

Wally was diagnosed with Bulbar Onset ALS in August of 2023. He was given a two-year life expectancy. There is no cure for ALS, and we don't want any other family to have to go through what our family has. That is why we are walking on June 1st - to raise money for a cure! 

Let's team up and UNITE in the fight against ALS today!

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.
