A MESSAGE FROM Cristal’s 2025 Chicago Marathon Fundraiser
Running is still something fairly new to me. Just last October, I ran my first 10k race and what started as a personal challenge quickly became something much more meaningful. Running has taught me that I’m capable of doing hard things—and when I can do those things in support of others, it becomes deeply fulfilling. 

To know me, is to understand my passion for supporting kids. Our childhood experiences shape so much of who we become. This is why it is important to prioritize a safe, stable, and loving environment—and that’s exactly what Mercy Home provides. They go above and beyond to ensure kids have what they need to build brighter futures. They help kids heal, grow, and dream again. And I want to do my part to make sure that support continues. 

 This year, I’m proud to run the 2025 Chicago Marathon as a Mercy Home Hero. I’d be so grateful for your support in helping me reach my fundraising goal. No donation is too small—every bit helps. Just click the donate button to make a difference. 

Thank you for being part of this journey with me!


Correr sigue siendo algo bastante nuevo para mí. El Octubre pasado corrí mi primera carrera de 10 km, y lo que comenzó como una meta personal rápidamente se convirtió en algo mucho más significativo. Correr me ha enseñado que soy capaz de hacer cosas difíciles—y cuando puedo hacerlo en apoyo a los demás, se vuelve profundamente gratificante. 

 Quienes me conocen saben cuánto me importa trabajar con niños y apoyarlos de cualquier manera posible. Las experiencias que vivimos en la infancia moldean gran parte de lo que llegamos a ser. Por eso es tan importante priorizar un hogar seguro, estable y lleno de amor—y eso es exactamente lo que ofrece Mercy Home. Ellos hacen todo lo posible para asegurar que los niños tengan lo que necesitan para construir un futuro más brillante. Les ayudan a sanar, crecer y soñar de nuevo. Y yo quiero aportar mi parte para que ese apoyo continúe.  

Este año, me enorgullece correr el Maratón de Chicago 2025 como parte de los Mercy Home Heroes. Estaría inmensamente agradecida por tu apoyo para ayudarme a alcanzar mi meta de recaudación de fondos. Ninguna donación es demasiado pequeña—cada aporte cuenta. Si deseas apoyar, puedes hacerlo a través del botón de donación. 

¡Gracias por ser parte de este camino conmigo!
