Help Me Make Every Mile Matter

In October 2026, I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon for a cause that is very close to my heart. I’m honored to support Special Children’s Charities, an organization that has empowered children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Chicago since 1969. I truly love children and believe every child deserves inclusion, joy, and the opportunity to reach their full potential. Any donation, big or small, helps make a real difference. Thank you for supporting this journey and this beautiful cause — it means more than words can say.

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.

If you wish to make a donation via check, please send to the address below and they will credit the donation to my fundraising page. Please make sure to include my name (or the person you would like to support) in the memo section.

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