A MESSAGE FROM Ashley's Chicago Marathon Fundraising Page for CASA of Cook County
As a foster mom and running enthusiast, the course I'm taking in 2026 is to run the Chicago Marathon for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Cook County. This organization supports youth in care by advocating on their behalf for what is in their best interest. This means helping them access the services (therapy, medical, educational) they need, find forever homes, and serving as a dedicated support system for children who haven't had that consistently in their lives.
If you're in the giving spirit this holiday season, a donation to our cause is one I know will have a direct impact on kiddos who truly need it. The lasting impact of having a CASA support a child in foster care is life-changing.
