This weekend I had the privilege of running the 45th edition of the Chicago Marathon. Throughout my 20 weeks of training, I learned to be more disciplined, to be patient with progress, and to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. More importantly however, I was able to run in honor of the children at Lurie Children’s Hospital. Together, with your contributions, we have given those in need a chance at a brighter and healthier future.

Thank you all for being part of this journey with me! I hope that through this process, I will have inspired one of you to accept the challenge of running for something bigger than yourself.
