I will be representing Team Chicago at Fasting 5K on Saturday, May 18th. Chicago F5K is partnering this year with Deaf Planet Soul (DPS) which aims to serve the hearing impaired community in Chicago since 2017. This year, Chicago F5K is going to be raising funds for DPSs’ Dream Fund. The Dream Funds mission is to provide the hearing impaired community a common space which will include courses, workshops and amenities such as fitness, art, education, employment and business opportunities. The hearing impaired community relies heavily on others for many day-to-day aspects to mitigate socialization and experience barriers in virtually every environment. The Dream Fund aims to create sustainable learning atmospheres for members of the deaf and hard of hearing communities to learn and be empowered in multiple aspects of everyday life.
Please consider participating by running or donating what you can.
