Running the Chicago Marathon in Honor of My Mom

I am running this year's Chicago Marathon for my Mom. My Mom was a special needs, learning disability, teacher at West Aurora High School. She changed the lives of thousands of kids over her years, and I want to raise money for others doing the same thing. The Charity I am running for helps children with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Chicago. If you've had a good sale, a good trade, or just want to give to a good cause, this is it. My Mom is still alive, and this is a small way to show her how proud I am of her and her work.

Please make all checks payable to Special Children's Charities.
