I am reaching out to you today because not only do we work together but I consider you a friend, professional colleagues and extended family. 
 
As many of you may know, last year I raised funds for a NY nonprofit for children while taking part in the 2024 NY Marathon. 
 
This year I am taking my talents to Chicago and participating in the 2025 Chicago Marathon on October 12, 2025. In staying true to the cause, I will again be fundraising for a children’s charity  - Chicago Run!  Chicago Run empowers thousands of young people from Pre-K through high school with equitable access to inclusive running and physical activity programs. Through the power of sport, Chicago Run builds resilience to stress and trauma and develop social and emotional skills. Learn more here!
 
Please help me support Chicago Run by making a contribution to my 2025 Chicago Marathon fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Chicago Run's great cause! 

I do not often put myself out there professionally on the fundraising front, but if you know me you know I believe we all have a responsibility to give back to our communities and the next generation as much as we are able, and in whatever way we are able. Please consider supporting this awesome organization. No contribution, via your organization or personally, is too small. If you are all full up on charitable "ask" for this year I understand and so no stress.
