Why I'm running for #TeamSCC
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.
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.

TEAMSCC
I’m excited to share that I’ll be running the 2025 Chicago Marathon to support special children’s charities! This charity empowers incredible children and helps create a more inclusive community. Your support means so much—whether it’s a donation or cheering us on, you’ll help us build a stronger, more inclusive Chicago.
Run Chicago
In April, I had the opportunity to run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon, which was an incredible experience with a few supportive fans along the way. However, running the Chicago Marathon in our own city for Special Children’s Charities will be an even more meaningful and exciting experience. I am looking forward to being a part of this inspiring cause!
Running Together is Better!
I am thrilled to announce that my cousins, Kathleen Mixan, Maggie Nolan, and I will be participating in the 2025 Chicago Marathon as part of Team Special Children’s Charities. We are proud to support the cause of inclusion, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their challenges. It’s an honor to run for such a meaningful cause.
