Maggie Nolan is running a marathon!

Hi everyone, I'm running a marathon! Well, actually, I'm running towards a marathon... and I need your help to get there. I will be running with Team Special Children's Charities for the 2025 Chicago Marathon. I am thrilled to be joining this team for my first marathon. I would appreciate all the support possible, and if you can donate a minimum of $10 this would be greatly appreciated. Every donation gets me one step closer to the finish line, please help me keep the dream alive!
