“My name is Beatriz Anguiano, I want to nominate Luis Ortiz to be marathon Monday person. 

Luis is one of my team members who is always ready to make the best of every run with his positive attitude and fun sense of humor he spreads laughter to everyone around. As his coach what I admire most is his dedication to his family, his work, his training, and his charity.

This is his first Chicago Marathon but he wanted to do it in a special way. Knowing first hand what having a special need child is, he knew he wanted to run for kids and when he saw everything SCC does he knew it was the perfect charity to run with and has been so inspired and moved by everything SCC does for the community.

It is so special to be part of something so beautiful, and is excited to meet the other SCC runners and proudly represent SCC on Marathon day. With the support of his family and running group this has been already a unique experience. His main goal is to run for every person with disability because we ‘run for those who can’t’ and to be an example to his kids that with hard work and dedication they can too accomplish anything they want in life, and teach them to not take anything for granted and they should make the best every single day God gives us.”
