I decided to join Team U2FP because people that overcome challenges inspire me to be a better person. I’m excited to be able to support this cause to help fight paralysis, and support my friend, Kathryn. I’ve been thinking about running a marathon for years now, so with some encouragement I signed up. This will be my second marathon; my first was over 15 years ago! I’m a bit nervous since I just got back into running late last summer, but I have the best training partner, my fur child, a 5 year old weimerainer - Slater!
Current City: Chicago, IL
Race Goal: I’m hoping for under 4:30
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis is proud to be an official charity team for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 2018. Team 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 $105,000 in the past three years. All funds directly support our mission: to cure paralysis through advocacy, education, and support for research. Thank you for your support!
