Chicago Bears legend Steve ‘Mongo’ McMichael accepts first-ever ALS Courage Award at Soldier Field: ‘One of these days, we’ll cure this’

Among the hundreds in the crowd preparing for the two-mile stroll along Lake Michigan was the family of the late Eric Queyquep, who died of ALS in 2012 at the age of 46. His wife, Ninfa Queyquep, said she has brought her sizable team to the Walk for Life event every year since 2010. When COVID-19 interrupted the annual tradition last year, her family did the walk on their own in their hometown of Bensenville, Illinois.
