I’m running the Chicago Marathon this October in support of Special Children’s Charity!

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.

I’ve always wanted to run a marathon, and this felt like the right time to push myself while also doing something that actually gives back. Training for this race is a challenge in itself, but knowing it supports children and families who rely on these programs makes it that much more meaningful.

I’ll be training over the next few months and sharing the process along the way. I’m also working toward a fundraising goal, and every contribution truly makes a difference.

If you feel inclined to donate or share, I’d really appreciate the support!

Again, thank you for supporting the thousands of participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicago!
