A MESSAGE FROM Karim in Chi 2026
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I will be running in the 2026 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, and I won't be doing it alone, but rather racing for and with Back on My Feet: a nonprofit that empowers people to break free from the cycles of poverty, homelessness, and/or addiction through the power of fitness, community support, and employment resources.
To give you an idea of the impact your donation could have:
- $50 could help a member reclaim critical documents (like a license or birth certificate) needed for employment.
- $100 could provide a member with 4-6 hours of career coaching.
- $250 could ensure a member has safe and reliable transit to and from work.
- $500 provide materials and tools to work in a trade position.
- $1,000 help a member obtain professional certifications / licenses or pursue a degree for employment.
