SUMMARY:ALS Caregivers Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Caregivers Only group offers a time to talk about all the issues caregivers face in a non-judgmental\, accepting atmosphere without their loved one\, who is living with ALS\, being present. Caregivers share a common experience; life has become so tumultuous that they often feel exhausted and overwhelmed\, hungry for emotional comfort. Together\, with the guidance and encouragement of a devoted facilitator\, caregivers can find the strength to persevere. And\, by feeling heard and understood\, caregivers become more equipped to face another day with new coping strategies. \nTime: Meets the Third Monday of each month from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. \nFacilitator: Anne Lidsky\, PhD \nRSVP: Please RSVP here. \n*Meetings will be held over Zoom and a Zoom invitation will be sent via email once you register for the group.*

SUMMARY:13th Annual Les Turner Symposium on ALS
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Les Turner Symposium on ALS will be held virtually and in-person at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago on Monday\, Nov. 6. \nThe Les Turner Symposium on ALS has featured presentations from leading ALS scientists and clinicians\, as well as people living with ALS; plus research posters\, a Q&A panel and more. The symposium is free and open to the public\, with thanks to our generous sponsors. \nTime: Registration Opens- 8:00am \nSymposium – 8:45am – 5:00pm \nBreakfast\, lunch and refreshments will be served. \nIt will be held in person with opportunities to stream presentations from home. \nRegistration and Abstract submissions will be open in July. \nKeynote Presentation: Antisense based therapy for rare neurological diseases\nC. Frank Bennett\, Ph.D \nCurrently there are multiple genetic based medicines being pursued for rare neurological diseases including antisense technology\, gene therapy and gene editing technologies. Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs are one of the more advanced technologies. ASOs are synthetic\, chemical modified nucleic acid analogs designed to bind to RNA by Watson-Crick base paring. Upon binding to the RNA\, ASOs modulate the function of the targeted RNA through a variety of mechanisms. Both protein coding\, as well as non-coding RNAs\, can be targets of ASO based drugs\, significantly broadening therapeutic targets for drug discovery compared to small molecules and protein based therapeutics. The approval of nusinersen (Spinraza™) as a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and the recent approval of tofersen (Qalsody) for familial ALS validates the utility of antisense drugs for the treatment of motor neuron diseases. The application of antisense technology as potential therapy for other rare neurodegenerative diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders will be discussed.

SUMMARY:All in For ALS Casino Night
DESCRIPTION:Our signature casino night event features exciting games like Blackjack\, Roulette and Craps all live in person at the East Bank Club. Guests can try their luck at the tables\, bid on auction items\, enjoy tasty appetizers\, and snap pictures in the photo booth\, all while joining other young professionals to show their support for the Les Turner ALS Foundation\, the leader in comprehensive ALS care in Chicagoland. \nMany Young Professional Group (YPG) members and event attendees have had this devastating disease touch their lives and take their loved one; and yet they still come together to help ensure that one day there is a cure for ALS. This is our chance to give back to them by helping fund vital ALS care and research. \nYour generosity helps ensure that people living with ALS live their lives with both quality and dignity. 100% of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Foundation. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Caregiver Only Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Caregivers Only group offers a time to talk about all the issues caregivers face in a non-judgmental\, accepting atmosphere without their loved one\, who is living with ALS\, being present. Caregivers share a common experience; life has become so tumultuous that they often feel exhausted and overwhelmed\, hungry for emotional comfort. Together\, with the guidance and encouragement of a devoted facilitator\, caregivers can find the strength to persevere. And\, by feeling heard and understood\, caregivers become more equipped to face another day with new coping strategies. \nTime: Meets the Third Saturday of each month from 10 am to 11 am \nFacilitator: Anne Lidsky\, PhD \nRSVP: Please RSVP here. \n*Meetings will be held over Zoom and a Zoom invitation will be sent via email once you register for the group.*
