Sydney's Personal Page

I’m beyond excited to be running my very first marathon with Team Special Children’s Charities! Working in the classroom, I’m constantly reminded just how incredible children are—full of kindness, joy, creativity, and endless potential. It’s such a privilege to support a cause that helps empower them to grow, thrive, and chase what they love. If you’re able to contribute, any donation—big or small—truly makes a difference. Every penny helps provide resources and opportunities that inspire and uplift. Thank you so much for your support!

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.

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.
