My Story

Next year I'm taking on what I thought was the unthinkable, I'm running my very first marathon.

In 2024, I will be running the Chicago Marathon and I will fundraising on behalf of Team Special Olympics Chicago!

Special Olympics is near and dear to my heart, as I have seen its impact on my brother Andrew who is a Special Olympics athlete.

I believe connecting people through sports and physical activity is instrumental in spreading a culture of inclusion, acceptance, and joy. Special Olympics Chicago/Special Children's Charities is working to create a more inclusive Chicago... one mile at a time!

Team Special Olympics Chicago is a group of runners dedicated to supporting thousands of Chicagoans with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and I am proud to be a member of this team.  

I hope that you consider supporting my efforts, and am so grateful for your devoted support to our life-changing mission.

If you wish to make a donation via check, please send to the address below and they will credit the donation to my fundraising page. Please make sure to include my name (or the person you would like to support) in the memo section.

Please make all checks payable to Special Children's Charities.

Mail to: 
Special Children's Charities 
2 E. 8th St., Suite 2M
Chicago, IL 60605

Again, thank you for supporting the thousands of participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicago!
