All proceeds benefit ALS research efforts

I launched my executive coaching firm well after the onset of symptoms and we now produce programs in Chicago and L.A. So I know a bit about being extraordinary in the face of severe setbacks and challenges. Though I am no longer able to speak, I have developed a presentation style known as the Speechless Speech which gives my words a silent voice and immediate impact. I invite you to join us for an evening that will make a real difference.

I promise it will be more valuable for you than the price of admission!

This event is sponsored by my company Master Plan Programs, and Witt’s Tavern and it benefits the MDA’s Augie’s Quest campaign to cure ALS. 70 years after Lou Gherig developed ALS there is no treatment and no cure. ALS is 90% spontaneous and can happen to anyone. There are 33,000 people at any given time with ALS in the USA. Life expectancy is 3-5 years after diagnosis. So the 6000 new people diagnosed each year basically replace those who have left us. I am committed to end ALS in MY LIFETIME!

This event will be inspiring, informative and rich with ideas to make the most out of life! I look forward to seeing you there!

Proceeds from this event benefit ALS-Therapy Development Institute, founded in 1999 and collaborating since 2006 with the MDA’s Augie’s Quest, this is the only non-profit research institute devoted to finding a cure for ALS. ALS-TDI excels in identifying novel disease targets, discovering compounds that may act against these targets and screening these potential treatments toward bringing vital therapies to the clinic. Supported by individuals, business leaders and ALS families, every dollar is critical to the research. 83% of their revenue goes directly to fund their research process and every contribution has an immediate and focused impact on finding a cure for ALS.

If you or your company is interested in sponsoring the event please contact me. We are also looking for volunteers to assist with the event set up and gift bag coordination.
