Marathon training
is tough. And mine has been particularly so lately. Maybe I can blame that, at
least in part, on the extra water and nutritionals I’m toting along for those extra-long
training runs.
But my load is lighter now, at least figuratively,
thanks to several generous people.
I’ve committed to
run the Chicago Marathon (again) as a charity runner on behalf of Misericordia.
And, as of this morning, my initial charity goal has been reached. That means
the minimum has been met. I’m ready to run – at least in the charity bib sense.
Thank you, donors!
Certainly,
Misericordia will accept additional donations on my fundraising page. All gifts
received will benefit their very special residents.
Here’s my marathon fundraising page, if you want
to read my story and learn about this wonderful Chicago community that
serves more than 600 individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities and related special needs.
Misericordia’s residents and the many skilled and
compassionate staffers that serve them are the real champions. They run a
veritable marathon of mercy every single day.
So let’s do this thing.
Now I just have to put in the remaining miles. All
those miles.
