Just a few years ago, the idea of running a marathon was so far-fetched that it wasn’t even on my radar. Fast forward to today, and I'm ecstatic about my newfound love for running. I'm gearing up to take on a monumental challenge—running the 2024 Chicago Marathon!

You have all been so supportive of my running journey in the past few years, and now I lean on that support again as I need your help to reach my fundraising goal for Special Olympics Chicago! 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 can’t wait to hit the 26.2 miles of beautiful Chicago streets on October 13, and I look forward to sharing highlights from my training journey with you along the way. I hope that you consider supporting my efforts, and I am incredibly grateful for your devoted support of my run and the life-changing mission of Special Olympics.

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 in the memo section.

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