The St. Pats 24 Hour Race is in honor and support of Faye Magneson, a friend, physician, mother, and wife, to raise funds for the research being done at ALS Therapy Development Institute.
About Faye
Faye Magneson, is a physician who lives in South Bend, Indiana where she spent many years practicing medicine. She’s been fighting ALS with all of her might for many years. ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a disease in which there is no cure and that disables the brain’s ability to communicate with the body, resulting in complete paralysis but leaving the mind fully in-tact. Faye has touched so many lives as a compassionate physician and person. She truly is an inspiration to all who know her. Because of Faye, we have chosen to put on the St. Pat's 24 Hour Race, in South Bend, Indiana to benefit the Friends for Faye fund and ALS TDI. It is our belief that every little bit will help find a cure for this ravaging disease.
