Chicago Marathon

Special Children’s Charity

Why I'm running for #TeamSCC

I am running in the Chicago Marathon this year. For me to get entered in the race I am required to raise money for a charity. I chose the Special Children's Charities of Chicago s my charity. I chose this charity for the great things it supports. Also, as the grandparent of a very special child I know the need for these programs supported by this charity. 
If you would like to donate please see the links below. There is a donate now prompt that will allow you to donate directly from this page.
Thank You
 

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.
