West Humboldt Park is a neighborhood in Chicago that is in need of our support. Mission of Our Lady of the Angels (www.missionola.com) bears the noble responsibility of providing for over 3000 families, while also offering spiritual guidance to help them find Hope once more. This tireless effort brings the Love of Christ into countless lives.
As I passed by West Humboldt Park, I couldn't help but notice a store proudly flying the flag of my homeland, Ecuador. It was a touching reminder of the challenges faced by my people. Committing to run the 2023 Chicago Marathon in support of Mission OLA is my way of contributing to the incredible work taking place here. Additionally, it is my tribute to Chicago, and to my beloved family and friends who call this great city home.
Funds raised from Team OLA 2023 will be used to:
