When I woke up one morning two years ago, and decided to sign up for the Chicago Marathon, I had no idea how much of a difference it would make on my life! I moved from a non-athlete to marathon finisher, and have never stopped training! Two years later, I'm about to run marathon #5 - my brother, some of my staff, a few parishioners, and most of my youth group have all decided to run with me! Together, we want to make a huge difference at the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels!
Mission of Our Lady of the Angels exists to provide material and spiritual support to W. Humboldt Park, Chicago- one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the US. The Mission feeds about 4400 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.
