Why donate?

Fingers crossed, I'll be running my 5th Chicago marathon this October.  But this one will be different---this time I'll be raising funds for Special Olympics Chicago!  I chose to join Team Special Olympics Chicago because 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.

And for those who have donated, thank you for supporting the thousands of Special Olympics Chicago's superstar athletes! #TeamSpecialOChicago
