Every Monday we celebrate the runners who have joined Team Special Children's Charities for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. This incredible team is using their miles to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Chicago. We are so grateful for their dedication and generosity!
Marathon Monday: Jack Moran
Growing up with an aunt with special needs, my family has been involved in the community as long as I can remember. From working with my high school special education program’s gym class, to volunteering at athletic events, I have appreciated the impact of programs like Special Children’s Charities on the inclusion and empowerment for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Marathon Monday: Returning Runners
For this week’s Marathon Monday we are featuring a whole bunch of runners who are back for their second (or even third) Chicago Marathon with Team Special Children’s Charities! So far we have 17 returning runners for this year, and five of those are back for their third race with us.
Marathon Monday: Maggie Worth
My entire life I’ve tried to do what matters – whether volunteering, or befriending those who might need an extra friend – I just want to make an impact on someone’s life, make someone’s day better.
