Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities has been the driving force behind inclusion and empowerment for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Chicago.
Special Children’s Charities aims to transcend boundaries and redefine possibilities by serving as a symbol of empowerment and inclusivity within both the disability community and the City of Chicago.
The spirit of accomplishment, inclusion, and joy that are part of the marathon experience are what we strive to provide for thousands of our participants in all 77 Chicago neighborhoods. With your help, we are creating a more inclusive Chicago–one mile at a time.

Again, thank you for supporting the thousands of participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicago!
My Marathons - Chicago, Cleveland, Marine Corps, Dublin, Ireland, Chicago again and again, Cancer, Boston, life, and going for Chicago again! This year has also been a "marathon" as we navigated a new way of life for Marty. I couldn't have done it without the support of wonderful people - especially those at Special Children's Charities. Thank you for the amazing opportunities you have provided for Marty and many of his new friends. I am proud to support you and run the Chicago Marathon in October.
