I'm running the Chicago Marathon with Team World Bicycle Relief!

As most of you know, I was born into and later married into the world of running and biking.  Now I can combine both by running in the 2026 Chicago Marathon while raising money for this amazing charity- World Bicycle Relief.  I may be a little crazy, but I was so inspired watching Louisa run the marathon last year, and her amazing fundraising effort, that I decided to give it a go myself!

Bicycles have the ability to change the world for their riders. Please consider supporting my personal fundraising efforts to help mobilize individuals in rural developing countries. Just $165 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life.  Also, please take a look at the WBR website to see what they do and where, and the huge impact they are making one bicycle at a time.

Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate to help individuals challenged by distance. 

Thank you so much for your support!
