I'm am (once again, and for the third year in a row) running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels!
I want to be clear, I don't need to fundraise for Mission OLA. I have my own entry to the Chicago Marathon. I want to raise money for Mission OLA because they're just that great! I found out about Team OLA when Sister Stephanie spoke to my students about both her running and the good work that Mission OLA provides. From there, I decided that this will be my charity when running. Read more about their good work below.
If you can donate anything at all, it would be appreciated - never expected, but greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
