We are reaching out today on behalf of Molly McAvoy Flynn. Molly grew up on the South Side of Chicago where she attended St. Denis Grade School ('83), Mother McAuley High School ('87), Northern Illinois University ('91), and received her MBA from Saint Xavier University ('00).
Molly worked at Palos Hospital in the Accounting Departmentfor 28 years.
On New Year's Eve in 1990, Molly met Mike Flynn. Mike attended St Adrian Grade School ('78), and is a graduate of St. Rita High School ('82). Mike has been a union electrician and proud member of Local 134 for the last 34 years.
Mike and Molly were married in 1997. They have five beautiful children, all graduates of St Michael's School in Orland Park Morgan, Casey, and Megan are alumni of Marish High School, where Michael is a senior, and Caroline is a sophomore
In 2023 Molly began experiencing some health issues. After many appointments with various doctors and specialists including a trip to Mayo Clinic, the unimaginable happened as Molly received the devastating diagnosis of ALS.
ALS or Amyptrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brainb and spinal cord. Presently, there is no cure for ALS, but we are not without hope!
Molly is currently participating in a clinical trial for ALS through Northwestern Medical Center.
Molly has faced this diagnosis with an astounding level of courage and grace. She refuses to give in and continues to be the most amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend!
The Flynns desperately need our help as the physical, emotional and financial toll of ALS cannot be overfstated.
Family and friends will host a benefit at Gaelic Park on April 6, 2025 from 1 - 6pm. We are soliciting donations and/or sponsorships for this event. Your support is deeply appreciated. Additionally, we kindly ask you to pray for the Flynns and for Molly's ALS miracle!
