To those who know me, it is no secret I love a challenge.  As a runner, I have learned how to overcome physical and mental obstacles to push to the next mile. As a pediatric dentist, I have learned how one person can make a difference for a child in an unfamiliar, intimidating environment.  I couldn't think of a better way to combine my passion of running with my desire to advocate for children than running the Chicago Marathon for #TeamSCC. Please consider donating to Special Children's Charities and come along with me on the journey this challenge will bring! 

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. 

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.
