Our Why | Meet the Maza Family

Shannon Maza was diagnosed with ALS in 2018. Shannon embodies unconditional love. As the supportive Mom to Webster baseball RHP Jacob Maza, and daughter, Julia, Shannon has enjoyed cheering her kids on through any endeavor they have tried. As a champion of Julia's involvement in the Special Olympics and a loyal fan of Jacob on the baseball field, Shannon never missed a chance to show her kids and her family how dedicated she is to them. Married for 27 years, Shannon's husband Eric, is her rock and biggest fan.

Shannon was the first to arrive at a party and the last to leave. Shannon loved a good 5k, 10k, women’s triathlon, and even running the Chicago Marathon in 2000. From volunteering to make sweets for parties, to becoming the school council and PTO president, Shannon's devotion to her family never wavered.

Her husband Eric and kids, Jacob and Julia, have become incredible advocates for Shannon and the ALS community. Please join us, on Saturday at the fall family preview game, as we rally together to leave ALS better than we found it.

About the Live Like Lou Foundation

The Live Like Lou Foundation was established in 2017 as a national nonprofit with a vision to leave ALS better than we found it. Named in honor of MLB Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, Live Like Lou supports ALS families, funds emerging researchers seeking meaningful treatments and cures for ALS, and helps generate awareness of Lou Gehrig’s disease. In the face of his ALS diagnosis, Lou Gehrig continued to live his life with courage, determination, and gratitude... this is what we mean when we say Live Like Lou.
