2025 Team ALS - Bank of America Chicago Marathon: Team Grampie

Team Grampie

Thanks for visiting our team page. Together we are challenging ALS and making a difference in the lives of those impacted by this devastating disease. We are a part of TeamALS because we are committed to raising money and awareness to support people who are living with ALS. Please join us and help us provide care, advocacy, and research 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.

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes someone else loses their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.

This is why challenging ALS is important to us. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. I'm asking for your help. Please donate and help defeat ALS!
