Carrying the Flame for MaryJane

Walk to Defeat ALS – Saturday, May 31, 2025

Manhattanville College | Westchester Walk

Welcome to our team page, and thank you for visiting.

We are walking in loving memory of two amazing people — our mom, MaryJane Bianco, and my brother, John Bianco. For 26 years, Carrying the Flame for MaryJane has joined the Walk to Defeat ALS to honor their memory and support others affected by this devastating disease.

ALS gradually takes away the ability to move, speak, eat, and breathe. While there is still no cure, every step we take and every dollar we raise brings us closer to one — and helps provide care and hope to those living with ALS today.

Your support means the world to us. Whether you donate, walk with us, or share our page, you are helping us keep MaryJane and John’s spirit alive — and lighting the path toward a future without ALS.

With gratitude,

Jean Bianco
