Alright everybody, I'm back running the 2025 Bank of America Chicago to support Mission of Our Lady of the Angels! It's going to be amazing to run another marathon with the whole team and to do it for such an amazing group of Franciscans (and friends) who love Jesus so well - in the Eucharist, and in the suffering. To run 26.2 miles is just a small way to join in that whole project and spread Jesus' love through a bit of my own sweat and prayer.
About the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels: It 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.
