Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share with you that I'm running the Chicago Marathon 2024, and I need your help to make it count!

As some of you may know, I'm a passionate marathon runner. I love the challenge, the thrill, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing a 26.2-mile race. Running has been a big part of my life for many years, and it has taught me a lot about perseverance, discipline, and self-care.

That's why I'm thrilled to have this fundraising opportunity to connect my passion for running with a good cause: Chicago Run, a non-profit organization that promotes the health and wellness of Chicago children through innovative, engaging, and sustainable youth running programs.

Chicago Run serves more than 16,000 young people annually, from Pre-K to high school, in over 60 schools and community centers across the city. They use running as a catalyst to transform lives, build resilience to stress and trauma, and develop social and emotional skills.

I'm inspired by the work that Chicago Run does, and I want to support them by raising funds for their programs. My fundraising goal would be enough to provide running shoes, t-shirts, and medals for 100 kids, or to sponsor a classroom for a half a year!

But I can't do it alone. I need your help to reach my goal and make a difference for Chicago's youth. Will you join me in supporting Chicago Run by making a donation today?

Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping Chicago Run achieve their mission. You can donate directly online through my fundraising page.

For Microsoft employees, our employer matches your donation via the Give Portal. All you have to do, after having donated here on this page, is to request a donation match via this link.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children in Chicago.

Let's run for a better future!
