Running for a Cause: Equine Dreams

This year I am finally running my first marathon in The Bank of America Chicago Marathon. It meant the world to me to run for a charity cause, and thankfully I found a charity that hits close to come: Equine Dreams Equine Assisted Services Program.

Equine Dreams provides Free Equine Assisted Services to hundreds of children, adults and Veterans with special needs. Therapeutic riding supports positive physical, cognitive, social-emotional development of individuals with disabilities. Equine Dreams is volunteer run, and donation driven. Every dollar raised goes towards providing free sessions to those with special needs.

Some services include:

➢ Adaptive Horsemanship

➢ Miniature horse visits

➢ Groundwork

➢ Sensory Path

➢ Veterans and Heroes Program

➢ Life-size horse simulator lessons

➢ Life skills

Visit their website at www.equinedreams.org to read more about what an amazing program they are!

Please consider sponsoring me in this 26.2-mile marathon!
