THANK YOU!!!
You are all amazing! Thank you so much to every single person that donated!! With your help, we have already far exceeded the donation goal of $1,750.00 with nearly $5,000 in donations!!! Your generosity is simply overwhelming to see. Every bit of these funds will go towards the direct benefit of children, adults, and families living with Spina Bifida. In the past week alone, the Illinois Spina Bifida Association has: -signed 20 children up for GoBabyGo cars -helped a family who is expecting a new baby next week get signed up for insurance -helped a HS senior and her parents make financial plans for benefits and college -helped an adult look for assisted living options It goes without saying that myself, the members of the ISBA, and everyone affected by Spina Bifida are extremely thankful for your generosity. All the best, Danny

A MESSAGE FROM Running for Emily
Welcome to my fundraising page for the 2023 Chicago Marathon! All donations will go towards the Illinois Spina Bifida Association.

Any amount that you decide to give is immensely appreciated. I am running and will be completing this marathon in honor of my cousin, Emily Flood, who was born with Spina Bifida. 

Spina Bifida is a condition that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly. This often results in damage to the spinal cord and nerves causing physical and/or intellectual disabilities that range from mild to severe. You can read more about it here.

Emily along with 166,000+ Americans are affected with this condition. The donation you make today will help improve the quality of life of children, adults, and families living with spina bifida, help pay for medical care and supplies, post-high school tuition, emergency needs, and fund research into the complexities of Spina Bifida.

You can help make a difference today. Emily's strength is enough to help me race to the finish line and your charitable contribution will help her and many others alike enjoy a long journey to their finishing line.
