Hi all! Katie here, and I'm excited to be running the 2024 Bank of America Chicago to support the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels! 

The Mission of Our Lady of the Angels exists to provide material and spiritual support to the West Humboldt Park neighborhood in Chicago - one of the most challenged neighborhoods in the US, only a few miles away from my own apartment in Chicago. The Mission feeds about 4400 families a month and provides additional material and pastoral support to families, youth, and senior citizens. More info about the Mission can be found at www.missionola.com. The Mission is a 501(c)(3) and relies entirely on the donations of private donors like you.

I've been running for as long as I can remember, and this race will be my third (!!) marathon. I'm so excited for the opportunity to run all 26.2 miles in solidarity with the Mission and the families it supports, and I'm grateful to you for your support in my endeavor! Please feel free to reach out to me at katie.michalak99@gmail.com if you have any questions about the Mission.

Thank you!
