26.2 miles. Never in my life did I really think I would attempt a Marathon. 8 years ago I didn't run and it wasn't until an injury that left me almost unable to walk that I even thought about running. Once I gained my mobility back, I started running and in 2015 I attempted my first 5k. Years later, here I am, attempting 26.2 miles! 

As a lifelong Girl Scout, I am excited to support Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana by raising money as I train for the 2022 Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

I am also thrilled to be running with my bestfriend, who is also a Girl Scout alumni. We spent much of our older girl years together, participating in the same troop or programs. We camped, did badge work, earned our Gold Awards and graduated as Girl Scouts! 

Please help me help GCNWI by giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about Girl Scouts GCNWI, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
