Saturday, August 15, 2026 – Day 170

Saturday, August 15, 2026

Today marks 170 days since we lost Andy after his courageous battle with ALS. It’s also the triplet’s birthday. Andy would have turned 67 today.

Andy’s journey brought people together. His daily blog gave us an honest look into his life, his challenges, his humor and his determination to keep living each day to the fullest.

In memory of Andy, we have new Andy’s Army shirts available for order. We want to keep Andy’s spirit alive and continue to raise awareness, support and hope for other families affected by this devastating disease. We also want to raise money and show support for all 15 family members and friends running in the Chicago Marathon on October 11, 2026.

100% of the proceeds will be donated to ALS United Illinois!

Click here to view the order form. If you would like to order a shirt, please complete the order form by Sept. 1st. We suggest a minimum donation of $25 per short sleeve shirt and $30 per long sleeve shirt. We truly appreciate your generous support in the effort to end ALS!

The order will be placed on Sept. 2nd. Tom and Marijean Snarski will contact you when the shirts are available for pickup/delivery. Any questions please reach out to andysarmyshirts@gmail.com.

Have a great Saturday!
