Hi! My name is Guadalupe Pulido, and I’m running my first-ever Chicago Marathon! As a proud Mexican-American music teacher from the South Side, I’m thrilled to take on this challenge while fundraising for Students Run Chicago, a program close to my heart. This organization has a special place in my life because it changed my twin sister’s life. Through running, she built resilience, found confidence, and discovered a supportive community. Now, I’m inspired to follow her footsteps—literally—while helping more students experience the same transformative growth. Every donation supports young runners across Chicago, empowering them to overcome obstacles on the course and in life. Thank you for joining me on this journey! With gratitude, Guadalupe Pulido
