I am running for SCIS/u2fp because I was lucky enough to meet a really wonderful friend and classmate, Kathryn Mahoney, who inspired me to push my own limits. I hope to raise awareness and funds in order to find a cure that will help those who suffer from spinal cord injuries. This is my first marathon!
Time Goal: 3:45
Hometown: Jackson, MI
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis and Spinal Cord Injury Sucks are proud to partner again this year as an official charity team for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Team SCIS/u2fp is a group of passionate, hard working runners and wheelchair racers committed to racing the 26.2 miles and fundraising to advance research towards a cure for spinal cord injury.
The team raised over $73,000 in the past two years. All funds directly support our mission: to cure paralysis through advocacy, education, and support for research. Thank you for your support!
