Last week, KISS 108’s Matt Siegel kicked off the 6th annual ALS & MS Walk for Living, which will be held Sept. 28 at the Leonard Florence Center on Admiral’s Hill in Chelsea. The Center features the first specialized ALS and MS residences in the country, enabling the residents to live active and independent lives. Siegel will emcee this year’s walk.

Also kicking off the walk with Siegel was Jack Geilfuss, the face behind this year’s walk. Jack was diagnosed with MS while in college and moved into the Leonard Florence Center shortly after it opened. Steve Saling, another resident, is an architect who helped design the Center when he was diagnosed with ALS eight years ago.
