Hi everyone!
It is with great excitement that I am reaching out to you.
As you might know, fifty hit me last year, and with it the need to feel younger and challenged. So I had no better idea that to sign up for a marathon, while raising funds for an amazing charity all at the same time. So here we are, the more “mature” me tapping my friends and family for some support. I will be running the Chicago Marathon in October.
Approximately 5 years ago I started running and enjoying myself, embracing this amazing and difficult sport. I met an outstanding group of people here in Aventura, Florida. They help me find another side of myself, which I continue to develop and grow.
We share many hours every week running and training while having amazing conversations, enjoying beautiful sunrises and preparing for our next adventure. Running is a test of physical and mental perseverance that allows me to push my limits and step outside my comfort zone. This couldn't be possible without the help and constant support of a lot of people; my trainers, therapists, close friends and my family.
Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities mission has been the driving force behind inclusion and empowerment for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Chicago communities.
SCC high-quality athletic, educational and life-enriching programs inspire participants to dream big, overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. Its transformative programs champion the rights and potential of individuals, support their families and uplift communities.
100% of the money I raise will be donated towards the programs SCC supports in the Chicago communities.
Please support my marathon race with a gift that will make a difference in the lives of the children and adults served by the Team SCC.
Thank you all so much for standing alongside me while I cross the finish line and complete this adventure.
