I’m thrilled to be participating in 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon with Team One Step! I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Team One Step supports Camp One Step by Children's Oncology Services, an organization that operates camps and other recreational and educational experiences for children who have been diagnosed with cancer.  Camp One Step Programs aim to cure the spirit by providing an environment of hope. Mental health is just as important as physical and I am excited to bring awareness to this great cause.

Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
• Follow the Journey: This training is tough! I can use all the encouragement I get.. cheer me on through social media platforms @maryassise

I hope you will consider supporting my journey as I raise funds to support children diagnosed with cancer. Your support means the world to me!
