Hello! I'm running the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels! I chose this charity because they and their past marathon runners have inspired me and motived me to run the marathon, a feat that I always thought was out-of-reach for me. For the past two years, Saturday morning after Saturday morning, they got me out of bed and showed me that I could achieve this goal, one mile at a time. Now I am ready to take the challenge and will need your help! In order to run the marathon, I will need to raise $1750 to earn my bib.
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, homeless, and senior citizens, and, most importantly, gives hope to a neighborhood desperately in need of it.
