Sarah’s Fundraising Page

Running has always meant more to me than just a way to stay in shape. It has been my outlet, a way to process grief, and an opportunity to challenge myself both mentally and physically. It’s the reason I show up and show out in every aspect of my life. That’s why I’m running for Special Children’s Charities. I want to help provide children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities—who are often overlooked, undervalued, and unsupported—the same kinds of opportunities and feelings I run towards: strength, confidence, and the ability to show up and show out each and every day. Because everyone deserves the chance to feel seen, supported, and empowered!!

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.
