Overview
- Jenny and her husband publicly disclosed the diagnosis on May 19 after neurologists confirmed ALS in December 2025 following a year of symptoms that began with a choking episode in December 2024.
- Doctors have told the couple that Jenny’s disease is progressing slowly and she is undergoing genetic testing to determine eligibility for gene-targeted therapies or clinical trials.
- The family has asked the public for treatment leads and this week Jenny’s daughters launched a GoFundMe to help cover mounting medical, home-care, and mobility costs.
- Jenny and Sumit kept the diagnosis private while seeking medical options and now hope visibility will connect them to experimental treatments as they prepare to appear on 90 Day: The Last Resort season 3, which premieres June 1.
- ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no cure that often requires extensive care and equipment; Jenny’s personal history with the illness includes a father who died from ALS and the diagnosis will substantially affect the couple’s daily life and finances.
