I don’t run marathons just for the finish line, I run for the kids who deserve more chances, more support, and more opportunities to thrive.

As an educator, I see firsthand how life changing access to safe spaces, caring mentors, and extracurricular activities can be for young people. I also see what happens when those opportunities aren’t there. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago step in where it matters most, giving kids a place to belong, grow, and believe in themselves.

That’s why I’m running with Team Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago in support of Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago Inc. Every mile I run is for the students whose lives are shaped by these programs and for the belief that every child, no matter their circumstances deserves the chance to discover their potential.

How you can help:

• Donate: Any amount, big or small, directly supports programs that change lives.

• Share: Spreading the word helps extend this impact far beyond one race.

Thank you for supporting me, for supporting our youth, and for believing like I do that access and opportunity can truly change a life.
