Help me raise $5,000 to develop clean water wells for children all over the world as I run the Chicago Marathon on October 8th 2023! You can donate either at the TWV donation page or the facebook fundraiser links.

Follow my training progress on Strava, and listen to my tunes during training and during the marathon on Spotify.

There are many ways to support this great cause:
  • Make a donation: Every donation makes an impact. Donate $50 and I will personally buy you Chipotle as a thank you!
  • Sponsor a child: Make a difference in a kid's life FOREVER!
  • Run with TWV: let's run together and change the world.

Thank you for considering supporting this great cause. There are nearly 700 million people in the world who do not have readily available access to clean water. These unfortunate people will walk an average of 4 miles per day, to fill up a 5 gallon jug (which weighs nearly 41 pounds) so that they have water to drink, wash, and cook with. TWV had a great process in place where they can provide a local well, and can accomplish that at a ratio of $50 per 1 person. That means every $50 donated, 1 person is no longer in critical need for water.

The day of the marathon, you can track my progress, find where to cheer me on and even see photos using the Bank of America marathon app. Just download it, and search for me in the runners (Bib N68532). I'll be spending pre and post race at the Team World Vision Tent (located at the north side of the park, enter off Randolph st.).

I'm currently running with group N in the 3rd wave, and will likely begin around 9am. My goal pace is 5 hours, putting my finish right around 2pm. Feel free to anticipate where I'll be using the following map.

See you October 8th! 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
