We are excited to announce the official "In Memory of Eric: ALS Fundraiser"

benefiting the Les Turner ALS Foundation and I AM ALS!

After being diagnosed with ALS at age 29, Eric Von Schaumburg courageously battled ALS for over 10 years, It stripped him of his profession, his body and his speech . . . but it could never take away his indomitable spirit and ability to help and inspire others. His memory will live on forever!

Monies raised from this event will benefit the Les Turner ALS Foundation and I AM ALS and will help further the mission of creating a world without ALS and providing support to those living with ALS and their families. The event will also spread awareness about the Les Turner ALS Foundation and ALS to countless members of Eric's community, inspiring them and others to join our cause.

About ALS

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a terminal, progressive disease that causes muscle weakness, difficulty speaking and swallowing and, generally, complete paralysis. ALS can, in some cases, also cause changes in intellectual function, mood, behavior or personality. While technically considered a "rare disease," experts predict an individual's lifetime risk of acquiring ALS is about 1 in 300, by the age of 85. There is no cure, yet.

About the Les Turner ALS Foundation

Founded in 1977, the Les Turner ALS Foundation is Chicagoland's leader in comprehensive ALS care and one of the longest-serving ALS groups in the country.

Throughout our history, we have taken an individualized approach to ensure each person living with the disease receives the best quality of care and access to the most promising therapies. We treat each person like family, supporting them every step of the way, and provide their loved ones with answers and encouragement.

Our Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine is led by the most well-respected and successful clinicians and researchers in the field, advancing vital care and research in pursuit of life-enhancing treatments and a cure.

About I AM ALS

Founded by ALS patient Brian Wallach and his wife, Sandra Abrevaya, I AM ALS is revolutionizing how we cure ALS by empowering and mobilizing patients, engaging with policy-makers and offering vital resources for people impacted by ALS.
