A MESSAGE FROM Nikash's Fundraising Page for CASA: Running 26.2 Miles That Matter
On October 11th, 2026, I'll be running the Chicago Marathon in support of Casa of River Valley
After running my first half marathon towards the end of 2025, I knew that in 2026 I wanted to challenge myself to run my first full marathon.
For me, a marathon is about pushing myself, but I also knew I wanted to be a part of something bigger. That's why I chose to fundraise for CASA, an organization that ensures children who have experienced abuse or neglect have an advocate to be their voice in court.
CASA volunteers often become the one consistent adult focused solely on a child’s well-being, helping guide them toward safe, stable, and nurturing homes. Your donation directly supports this work, while also fueling my marathon journey mile by mile.
My goal is to raise $2,200 to help CASA continue advocating for children who need someone in their corner. When you donate, you’re not just supporting a race, you’re helping create safer futures for children and helping me turn every step into purpose.
Every mile matters. Every donation makes a difference.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
