Special Children's Charities helps people with intellectual disabilities have the opportunity to discover new strengths, abilities, and success through athletics and recreation. Running at the University of Illinois taught me how sport can build belonging, confidence, and sense of purpose that carries into every part of life - something I believe every person should have access to. All of funds raised will benefit Special Children’s Charities, covering program costs such as transportation, sports equipment, team uniforms and food.

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