Welcome! I'm asking for your help to run Chicago.

In 2019, I ran my first marathon, and for three years I've been adjacent to the Mission OLA team as one of their prayer partners. They're a great cause, and I bet you'll love them too. They'll put your donation to great use for the people of inner city Chicago.

Please consider donating $26 in honor of the twenty-six-point-two miles we're going to run!

As a thank you, I'm going to raffle off a pair of handknit socks to one of my donors. Custom fitted to your size, warm, and with a little cup for your heel: handknit socks are the best, and I'll knit a pair for one person chosen at random. I'm not sure how else to say thank you.

And now a word from our sponsors....
