The walk is held in honor of people affected by ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. Over the years, the Walk 4 Life has raised more than $6.2 million for ALS research, patient services and educational programs.
ABC7's own Phil Schwarz will be the master of ceremonies for the event. For more information about ALS and the ALS Walk 4 Life, contact the Les Turner ALS Foundation at 847-679-3311 or visit www.LesTurnerALS.org.
