My 2020 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Journey

What a year to pick my first marathon! I chose to support the Northern Illinois Food Bank through the Bank of America Chicago Marathon because I have been a supporter and believed in the mission which is to lead the Northern Illinois community in solving hunger by providing nutritious meals to those in need through innovative programs and partnerships. And now with the novel Coronavirus and increased food insecurity, NIFB has stepped up and many people are very thankful and sharing in the remarkable benefits. I believe that everyone should have access to nutritious food and was saddened to hear that nearly 1 in 7 individuals in Northern Illinois is food insecure. For every $1 donated, Northern Illinois Food Bank can help provide $8 worth of groceries. Please consider joining me on the course or supporting me with a donation that will help me reach my goal in providing $10,000 worth of groceries. Together We Can Solve Hunger. Thank you!

For my Chicago Marathon journey I've decided to link arms with Northern Illinois Food Bank to race towards a future where every neighbor has the food they need to thrive.

 

The Food Bank has been responding to the increased need in our communities, which remains elevated due to the effects of COVID-19. In their latest fiscal year (July 2020-June 2021), the Food Bank has helped provide over 100 million meals to the community.

 

Please join me in making a difference in the lives of the thousands of people in Northern Illinois who are hungry. The funds I raise will stay right here, in our backyard, and will fill an empty plate of a hungry neighbor. 

 

Your Donation Makes an Impact:

  + Every $1 donated helps provide $8 worth of groceries for neighbors in need

  + 97% of the Food Bank's resources go to programs that feed neighbors in need

  + The Food Bank serves 13 counties in Northern Illinois, providing the equivalent of nearly 220,000 meals each day

 

I invite you to do incredible things with me this year. Please consider joining me on the course or supporting me with a donation that will help me reach my goal to provide groceries to our community.

 

Thanks in advance!
