CHICAGO MARATHON 2026! Why I'm running for #TeamSCC

Running a world major marathon has been a personal dream of mine and a challenge I’ve wanted to accomplish for several years.  I’m incredibly grateful that Special Children’s Charity has given me the opportunity to run in one of the most amazing marathons in the world while supporting such an inspiring cause. As I train for this journey, I’m asking for your support in helping me give back to an organization that does so much for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Every donation helps continue the incredible work they do and makes this experience even more meaningful.

Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities has aimed to transcend boundaries and redefine possibilities by serving as a symbol of empowerment and inclusivity within the disability community.

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.
