Dear Friends and Family

I am so excited to tell you that I completed the Rock Hall half-marathon yesterday. This is my first half after struggling with injuries for the past two years!! I am feeling very optimistic about being able to be a part of the Chicago Run team this year!

Please help me support Chicago Run by making a contribution to my 2026 Chicago Marathon fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Chicago Run's great cause! 

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.

i feel privileged to support this very important cause. We all know the importance of exercise to physical and mental health. I also feel lucky to be able to participate at age 70! Proof that the benefits of exercise can last a lifetime! Learn more here!
