Thank you for supporting Aspire by donating to the Dream Team! All funds raised will benefit Aspire's mission of connecting people with disabilities to ever-greater possibilities for learning, jobs and safe places to call home.  This will be my first marathon, and I am very excited for this race. In preparation, I have run hill repeats on Bears game days to honor Walter Payton, completed a triathlon, hit many 6 am workouts, and logged miles along the lakefront trail. I'm especially excited to race alongside my older brother Jack who encouraged me to take on this challenge. I will also be running on my nephew Billy's first birthday! Hopefully, the thought of eating birthday cake will get me to cross the finish line quicker. Thank you for supporting a great cause and look for me wearing my striped headband on race day!
