As a teacher, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible kids, many of whom have faced unimaginable challenges. This year, I’m running the Chicago Marathon to support Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, a life-changing organization dedicated to providing hope, healing, and opportunities for children in need. Mercy Home offers a safe haven and essential resources for kids who have experienced trauma, tragedy, and hardship, helping them build brighter futures. Every step I take is for them, but I can’t do it alone—your support can make a world of difference. Please join me in transforming lives by contributing to this meaningful cause!
