Welcome to my fundraising page for the 2018 Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
I have committed to raising at least $1,500 for the Greater Chicago Food Depository as I prepare to run the Chicago Marathon for the 3rd time.
Your donation will help feed the 812,000 men, women and children served by the Food Depository each year.
The Food Depository and I really appreciate your support. No one in my beautiful city should go hungry!

I wish I would've got going on fundraising for the Food Depository sooner. On the long Saturday morning runs, I would think "when I get back, I gotta get on that." And then I would get back, eat everything in sight, recover and go about my day.
I chose the Food Depository team because it's hard to forget how many people I see struggling while I'm out on a run with a $200 watch. Near my house at Horner Park, there's a permanent campsite for people having a rough go of it. There's the people under LSD on my way to the lake and the guys along the river near Gompers Park. It's going to be a long summer of running, and I want to see if I can make some small difference in the community that offers me a welcoming place to run. I'm really grateful for your help.
