We are 2 young runners from France ready to hit the road for our 1st ever marathon...in Chicago! We are running all the way to the finish line in memory of our elderly loved ones. Meriem's father recently passed at the age of 94 and Margot's grandmother was 82. We choose to raise funds in support of a charity who provides advice, financial aid and companionship to older people living alone. Our loved ones had help and people around. Some are not as fortunate and rely on charities like the Little Brothers of the Poor (http://www.petitsfreres.org/?lang=EN) .
