A MESSAGE FROM Jessica Shay's Fundraising Page
I am honored and ecstatic to be joining Team Hoyt and The Hoyt Foundation for the 2026 Chicago Marathon. For as long as I can remember, spectating The Boston Marathon involved cheering on Team Hoyt. Dick and Rick were an iconic father-son duo that ran over 1000 endurance events together, including 32 Boston Marathons. Their perseverance and dedication to each other have inspired countless other individuals to pursue their dreams, relying on the Team Hoyt motto "YES You Can!".
Inclusion for children and adults of all abilities is a goal that I care deeply about. By supporting Team Hoyt, we can make inclusion a reality for everyone.
Every dollar you donate brings us closer to a world where everyone has the opportunity to shine. Your fundraising efforts will provide adaptive equipment for a variety of athletic endeavors, accessible programs that allow for side-by-side participation with peers, and communication tools that help individuals with disabilities find their voice.
Join us in this journey of hope and possibility, and let's make inclusion happen, one stride at a time. Your generosity fuels dreams and transforms lives—thank you for being part of our team!
