Hello everyone,

I am thrilled to announce that I'll be taking on a monumental challenge this year - running in the Chicago Marathon 2024! But this isn't just about crossing the finish line; it's about running with a purpose larger than myself. That's why I've decided to represent Team Special Olympics in this incredible event.

As a first-time marathon runner, the journey ahead is both exhilarating and daunting. But knowing that every step I take will support the incredible athletes of the Special Olympics makes every mile worth it. The Special Olympics is a cause close to my heart because it embodies the spirit of perseverance and sheer determination.

The Special Olympics provides opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities to showcase their talents, strength, and courage through sports. It's about breaking down barriers and fostering a community where everyone is valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

By joining me in supporting Team Special Olympics, you're not just contributing to a race - you're making a meaningful difference in the lives of countless athletes and their families. Your donation will help provide resources, training, and support to ensure that every athlete has the opportunity to participate in sports and experience the joy of competition.

Together, let's make every mile count. Whether you donate, share my fundraising page, or simply cheer me on from the sidelines, your support means the world to me and to the incredible athletes of the Special Olympics.

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.
