2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon

Make Moves that Matter

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Running has shown me my own strength, mentally and physically, and given me confidence to take on more in life than I thought I was capable. I will be running the 2024 Chicago Marathon, and I won't be doing it alone, but rather racing for and with Back on My Feet: a nonprofit that empowers people to break free from the cycles of poverty, homelessness, and/or addiction through the power of fitness, community support, and employment resources. With your help, we can support our community members in need to learn their own strength, through running and walking, and in turn, have the power and resources to get back on their feet.

To give you an idea of the impact your donation could have:
- $50 could help a member reclaim critical documents (like a license, social security card, and/or birth certificate) needed for employment and housing applications.
- $100 could provide a member with 4-6 hours of career coaching.
- $250 could ensure a member has safe and reliable transit to and from work.
- $500 provide materials and tools to work in a trade position.
- $1,000 help a member obtain professional certifications / licenses or pursue a degree for employment.
