A gofundme support page has been launched for Carolyn Toscano, who has been battling Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) since her diagnosis at age 45. The Toscano family has had a longstanding presence in New York's Thoroughbred racing industry.
Carolyn Toscano hails from a family steeped in the Thoorughbred racing industry. Well known in New York racing circles, her father John Toscano Jr. has been a trainer on the Empire State circuit since the late 1960s and her brother Paul, a jockey for almost two decades, rode horses throughout the country as well as internationally. Her family also includes brothers John Toscano III, who serves at the New York Racing Association, and Rob Toscano, also an owner/pinhooker in the industry.
“She is just so positive,” said Rob Toscano's wife Tricia Toscano. “Her mind is still strong and she's been looking for way to cure herself.”
“Never lose hope because tomorrow may bring a miracle. That's the way she looks at life.”
Lisa Bonich, who organized the gofundme page on behalf of Toscano, added, “The family needs all the help they can get!” “All funds raised with go directly towards the cost of medical equipment, treatments and home aids and all portions not covered by insurance. Your support in any form is beyond appreciated!!!”
