HELP ME RUN THE 2024 CHICAGO MARATHON FOR THE RMHC!!

**HELP SEND ME TO CHICAGO TO RUN IN THE CHICAGO MARATHON AND RAISE $$ FOR THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITY**

I am running to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charity to help out as many families as I possibly can. One of my very best friends, who I have known all my life and that I am fortunate enough to call a “forever friend greatly benefited from the care and support of the RMHC. She loves everything “Disney related” so it was only fitting for her to go into pre term labor while she was vacationing there with her family when she was just 27 weeks pregnant. She sacrificed so much by staying by her baby boy’s side for over 3 months in a completely different state because her husband had to get back home to Long Island, NY with their daughter so he could go back to work. I am sharing her story with her permission because this is what inspired me to choose the “Ronald McDonald House Charity in Central Florida” for my charity to raise money for so I can represent them in the Bank Of America Chicago Marathon in October. I saw how much the RMHC made an impact on her by not only providing a place for her to stay during their stressful period; free of charge, but the way they rallied around her along with other “residents” and made them feel loved and helped them in any way shape or form. Please help me raise as much money as I can so I can help pay it forward. Thank goodness sweet Gavin and his mom were able to travel back to NY to be reunited with her husband, daughter and 2 dogs before the New Year.
