Support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels (& Justin's big run)

Dear friends and loved ones:

This October 8 I’m running the Chicago Marathon, with all proceeds benefitting the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels in Humboldt Park, Chicago. For two decades, OLA (a 501c3 org) has been a friend to the community, throwing its doors open for a food pantry, senior programming, and even block parties. Their mission is to be a sign of God’s love in West Chicago. As one resident put it, “They’re like angels for everyone around here.” 

This is my first EVER marathon. While putting in 30-40 miles of training per week and avoiding potty accidents for 26 miles won’t be fun, it would be SO meaningful to go through that with your support.

My goal is to raise $1750 by raise day. If you feel inclined, please donate and let me know if you have an intention or concern to which I could dedicate a training run.

Love you all and hope to see you along the course on race day!

Justin
