Hello everyone!

We truly can’t thank you enough for being part of this journey with us. Over the past three years, running has become so much more than just crossing finish lines—it’s been about showing up for each other, pushing through challenges, and celebrating every milestone together. From our Disney runs now setting our sights on the Abbott World Marathon Majors, this journey has brought us closer than we ever imagined.

As we started dreaming about what’s next, we set a new goal: to take on the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors together. And now… our first stop is Chicago.

We are incredibly honored to be running with Team Special Children’s Charities, and this race means so much more because it’s not just about us anymore—it’s about running for a purpose.

Why this matters:
Since 1969, Special Children’s Charities have been creating opportunities for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Chicago. They focus on inclusion, empowerment, and building a community where everyone has the chance to grow, thrive, and feel valued.

This organization supports thousands of individuals across all 77 Chicago neighborhoods—bringing joy, confidence, and opportunity to so many families.

How you can help:
We’ve committed to raising funds to support this incredible mission, and we would truly appreciate your support—no matter the amount. Every dollar brings us one step closer to making a meaningful impact.

If you are a business, we would love to highlight your company by featuring your logo on our race-day attire and on banners that our family and friends will display along the course.

Your donation isn’t just helping us get to the starting line—it’s helping create a more inclusive Chicago, one mile at a time.

Thank you for being part of our journey, for believing in us, and for supporting such an amazing cause. We can’t wait to share every step of this experience with you! 

With love,

Amanda and Jasmine

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