After proving to myself that I can run a marathon, if you know me at all, I have to do it again so I can improve, become better, and give back to my community!  Plus, I am dreaming bigger and have set the goal to complete the Chicago Distance Series in 2024!

This year, I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for the patients at Lurie Children’s on a team with Ace Hardware! I am dedicating my 26.2 miles to advancing research, supporting families and helping to provide access for more kids.

As a nonprofit hospital, Lurie Children’s depends on donations to provide the best care for kids. I hope you’ll help me reach my goal in support of the patients and families at Lurie Children’s.

Here’s how your donations can make a difference:

$100 is enough help make a child’s hospital stay a more positive experience with activities, supplies and toys.

$250 can provide patients with the support they need to thrive after lengthy hospital stays.

$500 supports clinical trials to help discover new or more effective treatment options.

$1000 means we can train the next generation of specialists.

All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Lurie Children’s Foundation.

On behalf of the patients and families of Lurie Children’s, thank you for your support!
