Thanks for being here! I believe connecting people through sports and physical activity is instrumental in spreading a culture of inclusion, acceptance, and joy. 

I have made such special connections through running, pickleball, tennis, skiing, and hiking (to name a few!) and am happy to be able to help facilitate similar connections for kids throughout Chicago. For that reason, I am running the 2024 Chicago Marathon on October 13th in support of Special Olympics.

During my time volunteering with Special Olympics in College - I have seen the organization foster connections and create a more inclusive environment for so many people. I am so excited to support that mission in the city that has been such a special home to me the last 6 years! 

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 the team in whatever way you are able. To support, you can make a donation to help me reach my fundraising goal, send an uplifting text to motivate me or another runner through training, volunteer with Special Olympics in your own community, or cheer on the sidelines in Chicago on October 13th.  

If you choose to donate directly through this page, please make sure to include my name (or the person you would like to support) in the memo section.

You can also send donations directly to me via Venmo or Zelle and I will make sure they are added to the fundraiser.

Thank you for supporting the thousands of Special Olympics Chicago's superstar athletes! #TeamSpecialOChicago
