Emily & Steve Kamen are running Chicago for Team ALS!
On October 13, Emily & Steve Kamen are running the Chicago marathon to raise funds and awareness to help fight back against ALS, a terrible disease near to our hearts. ALS United Greater Chicago provides much needed patient services resources, funds global, cutting-edge research, and much more in order to help those living with ALS.
This is Emily's 7th marathon (including 3 ultra-marathons), Steve's whopping 27th marathon, our 4th overall we're running together, and 3rd we're running together to raise money for an ALS organization. This one is extra special because we're running with Anna and her husband John, and we're thrilled to once again run for this important cause.
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. Brian Zubatch, Steve's first cousin, first marathon partner, and all-around amazing father, family member, and friend, tragically died of ALS in 2021, and we are running in his memory.
As we are trying to raise awareness for ALS, our fundraising goal is not only a financial goal but also one to get as many people as possible on our donor list. So, whether you give $10, $25, $100 or more, you will be joining us in bringing hope and providing resources and services to families free of charge.
Thank you!
Emily & Steve
