Hi there! I'm running the 2023 Bank of America Chicago to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels (OLA)! 

Running the Chicago marathon has been a goal of mine since I was real little. My mom ran it and we used to watch it every single year, so it's been close to my heart for most of my life. I am even more excited that I will be running it with Team OLA!

Here's a little info about the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels... they exist to provide material and spiritual support to W. Humboldt Park, Chicago - one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the US. The Mission feeds about 3000 families a month, provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens, and, most importantly, brings the love of Christ to a neighborhood desperately in need of hope. More info about the Mission at www.missionola.com.

Funds raised from Team OLA 2023 will be used to (i.e. here's where your money will be going if you donate!)
