After landing his dream job with the Chicago Cubs, Andy Weisman’s life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with ALS just a few months later, after initially attributing his weakness to stress.

Now, Andy’s family is rallying behind him, along with “Andy’s Team Batman,” as they prepare to take part in the ALS Walk for Life on Saturday, October 24, at Soldier Field. Andy and Laura Freveletti, CEO of the Les Turner ALS Foundation, joined ABC7 Chicago to share Andy’s story, discuss his journey with ALS, and highlight the importance of the Walk.

The guide also includes guidance on advance care planning, respite care, grief support and resources for the whole family.
