Val and Ryan surprise WCL fan Gladys Becker

CHICAGO -- To kick-off the seventh season of Windy City LIVE we're surprising loyal fans all week long.

On Thursday, Ryan and Val surprised Gladys Becker, after her daughter, Melissa, sent a letter detailing why her mother deserved a much needed surprise in her life. Alx Galasinao of Mighty Artist Productions, provided hair and makeup while Lane Bryant provided a brand new fall outfit.

Gladys is currently looking for a full-time job, so Ryan connected her with the National Able Network; a social services non-profit that provides employment and training services. To top it off, Women's Workout and Wellness gifted Gladys a complimentary one year gym membership.
