My Aunt and Godmother Linda Schad passed away from ALS on November 20, 2022. Linda was a loving wife, mother, coach, and a wonderful aunt. I am running the Berlin marathon to raise money for the ALS Association and to honor Linda and her family. Running was an important aspect of Linda's life as she led the Riverview Gardens girls track team to multiple Missouri Class 4A State Championships and as a CYC coach led her St. Joseph-Cottleville team to three City-County Championships over four years.
I'm participating in Team Challenge ALS to raise funds and awareness to help fight back against this terrible disease. The ALS Association provides much needed patient services resources, funds global, cutting edge research, and much more in order to help those living with ALS right in our community.
Team Challenge ALS is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency of our cause and to push for treatments and a cure.
I'm asking for your help. Please donate in honor of my Aunt Linda or sign up to be a volunteer today.
