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.

Who I will be running with!
My cousins and I will be training/running the 2025 Chicago Marathon together. My cousins Moira Mixan and Kathleen Mixan will also be on the Special Children's Charities Team.
More about me!
I am currently a Junior at Marquette University and majoring in Nursing. During the 2025 Chicago Marathon it will be my senior year, where I will be running towards the finish line both academically and physically! As a senior in college, I’m ready to close out my college years with a bang. So, I’m running a marathon! Help me go the distance—literally—and make senior year unforgettable!
Why I love running!
Running has become apart of my everyday life for the past 5 years! Whether it's running with friends, family, or just myself, it has proven to be one of my favorite hobbies. The marathon will definitely be a challenge, but with the support of family and friends I know it will be an opportunity of a life time!
TEAMSCC
Team Special Children's Charities has been apart of my family since I have been in grade school. I have had the privilege of engaging with the Special Olympics athletes, and have met wonderful people through the Special Children's Charities programming. I am extremely lucky to run and fundraise for such a meaningful cause. THANK YOU TEAMSCC!
