More Than 26.2: Anthony’s Path to Chicago and Community Impact Facing a critical health diagnosis, distance running saved my life losing 100 pounds and redefining my fitness. In 2019, I founded We Off The Couch in Richmond, VA, to break down barriers, empower Black communities, and work toward closing our city’s life expectancy gap. Now, I’m taking this mission to the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, fundraising for Running USA. They equip grassroots non-profit leaders with the mentorship, education, and tools needed to drive health equity and community fitness. Every dollar makes an impact. No donation is too small.
