Help Mary Conquer ALS

Donation protected
This fundraiser is for my sister, Mary Keeshan. She was diagnosed with ALS in March of 2023. Mary grew up in Palatine, IL. She attended St. Theresa Catholic School, St. Viator High School, and St. Benedictine College. She is married to her husband, Chuck Keeshan. They have two children together, Grace (University of Denver) and Brady (Marian Central Catholic High School. Mary has been teaching for School District 15 for 25 years. Funds will go to help her with future medical bills and to help modify her home so that it will be accessible to her during her ongoing fight.

Mary is currently in the first stage of ALS. She no longer has the use of her left hand and her right hand is quickly loosing strength. She is still mobile but is having difficulty with stairs. Mary is still teaching and very is active in her church. Her positivity and will to fight is amazing.
