With approximately 7,000 participants, the ALS Walk for Life is Chicagoland's largest gathering of the ALS community. Emceed by ABC7 Chicago meteorologist Phil Schwarz and Melissa McGurren from "Eric in the Morning Show" on 101.9 THE MIX, the event will feature food, music and children's activities.
Participants fundraise and walk as teams in honor or memory of a loved one with ALS.

The funds raised are crucial to ensuring no one living with ALS has to face the disease alone.
