After an amazing experience last year, I'm thrilled to once again have the opportunity to run the Chicago Marathon! This year I'm raising money for Special Children's Charities, an organization that helps make educational, athletic, and other enrichment programs accessible to Chicago's children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. SCC helps everyone have the chance to feel how empowering, uplifting, and fun it is to engage in a sport, team, hobby, or activity of any kind, and it would mean so much to me to have your support of a truly great cause.
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.
