My name is Bella and I am so excited to be fundraising for my first marathon through Chicago Run. They are an incredible organization that 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!

Not only does their program help kids learn through teamwork, but they create a community of support by partnering with other foundations. When I first learned about the organization I was moved by hearing stories of volunteers now that use to be apart of Chicago Run growing up, which just shows how impactful this foundation is. 

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!
