Confidence is a gift—at any age.

Blake and I only recently took up running, and what once felt impossible is now within reach. Crossing this finish line together as part of TEAM LEOPARDO is something we’ll carry with us forever.

We’re running to support Chicago Run, an organization we wish we had discovered sooner. They empower thousands of young people—from Pre-K through high school—with inclusive, equitable access to physical activity and running programs. Through movement, they help kids build resilience, cope with stress and trauma, and grow emotionally and socially.

We’re putting in the miles—will you help us pay it forward?

Your donation, no matter the size, helps give more children the chance to thrive through the power of sport. And to make it fun: for every gift, we invite you to suggest a song! We’ll add it to our race day playlist—your soundtrack will help carry us forward and celebrate the impact you’ve made.

Thank you for believing in us—and in the next generation.
