I’m running the 2026 Chicago Marathon to support Chicago Run and help create healthier futures for children who lack access to safe, structured physical activity. As a physician and a father, I see how movement, routine, and encouragement can profoundly shape a child’s health and confidence. Chicago Run provides these opportunities through programs that build resilience, self-belief, and lifelong healthy habits. Your support makes this work possible and opens doors for kids who might not otherwise have them. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping make a meaningful difference.

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!
