My Story

Hi! I'm thrilled to announce that this October, I'll be running in the Chicago Marathon! I've chosen to run in support of Special Olympics, an organization that holds a special place in my heart. My involvement with Special Olympics started when I helped co-found the Unified Special Olympics Team at my high school. It was a truly eye-opening experience, showing me how sports can promote inclusivity, acceptance, and genuine joy. I'm incredibly excited to once again support Special Olympics through fundraising and participating in this marathon.

My fundraising goal is $1750 and would be so appreciative for any help! If you’re willing and/or able to donate, please check out the link in my bio :) any and all support is appreciated!! and please share with anyone you think might want to support SO! thanks y’all?

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.
