I'm running Chicago Marathon with Team SCIS/u2fp to raise money to help people with spinal cord injuries. My twin sister, Marilyn Brunk, was paralyzed in a rock climbing accident 10 years ago, so I am running for her!
Time Goal: 5:15
Hometown: Schererville, Indiana
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injury Sucks are proud to partner again this year as an official charity team for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Team SCIS/u2fp is a group of passionate, hard working runners and wheelchair racers committed to racing the 26.2 miles and fundraising to advance research towards a cure for spinal cord injury.
The team raised over $73,000 in the past two years. All funds directly support our mission: to cure paralysis through advocacy, education, and support for research. Thank you for your support!
