Running 26.2 miles is a huge accomplishment. That said, running the Chicago marathon as a Mercy Home Hero gave me the opportunity to be charitable while training. And, to be honest, raising money to help provide at-risk children in Chicago a chance at a better future, along with pushing myself past my own physical limitations, makes running the Chicago marathon on behalf of Mercy Home that much more rewarding. Every step of the way, the Mercy Home Heroes team supported, cheered for, and offered great resources during my journey – and I’ll be forever grateful for making the entire experience so memorable.
