My Personal Fundraising Page

Hi! I’m Hannah, and I’m excited to be participating in the 2025 Chicago Marathon with Team Special Children's Charity. This race is not just about crossing the finish line—it’s about making a difference for children in need. I'm running with Team Special Children's Charity to raise funds and awareness for an organization that provides crucial support to children with disabilities and their families. These programs help children live fuller, more independent lives, and I’m honored to be part of this incredible charity.

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.
