A MESSAGE FROM Ryan's Fundraising Page
This October, I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon in honor of my mother-in-law, Ellen, who passed away from breast cancer last year. The strength and determination she demonstrated inspired me to run and raise money to help others who face the same journey. 

 Running 26.2 miles, and raising money to help others with this disease, is my way of honoring her legacy. 

I’m honored to be running as part of Team Sharsheret, a national organization that supports women and families facing breast and ovarian cancer. Sharsheret provides personalized support, genetic counseling, education, and vital resources to those impacted by these diseases. 

Any support you’re able to offer is deeply appreciated. Every donation helps Sharsheret continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by or predisposed to cancer. 

Ben Walker, my brother-in-law, is also running the Chicago Marathon in Ellen’s honor. If you’d like to support his fundraising page as well, you can find his link here.

    Ryan — I’m really proud of you for doing this. Running Chicago in Ellen’s memory is such a beautiful way to honor her, and I know how much it means to Rebecca to have you by her side through everything. This past year has meant so much to all of us, and seeing you take on 26.2 miles for Ellen is incredibly special. I know she’ll be on your mind and in your heart every step of the way. Love you, Ryan. Run strong, soak it all in, and know we’ll be cheering you on the whole way. ❤️ Love, David & Noah

    Ryan, I used to work with your mother, and it was clear that you were her pride and joy. Over the years, as I have seen and heard tidbits about ur accomplishments and personal ambitions, I have come to share in your mother's awe of you and all you do. Breast cancer stole my grandmother away before I really got a chance to know her. I was just 7, she was barely 67. Too young, gone for me too soon.
