I’m running the 2016 Chicago Marathon for our work here at Mission Our Lady of the Angels, a Catholic Mission serving the poor on Chicago’s West side

The Mission serves 700+ families a month with food and other basic material needs, assists 900+ at risk kids in after-school programs, serves bi-weekly community meals and, most importantly, brings the Hope of Christ to a neighborhood plagued by gangs, violence and poverty.

I am committed to train (running over 400 miles) over the long, hot summer and run 26.2 miles on Marathon Sunday (October 9) . . . and I am counting on your support! I need your prayers to persevere through training and finish the race. Your prayers are needed so I can successfully spread the good news about the Mission through my running.

Finally, I need your financial support. The Mission is able to provide all of its services to its neighbors for free because of many generous donations from people like yourself. After recently completing a gigantic capital campaign, the Mission is working on better establishing its programming in the neighborhood, and needs your help to do that. If you are able please consider donating HERE

We have a team goal of $75,000 and I have an individual goal of $1,000. Every penny counts- thanks for your consideration on this!

Thank you and God bless you!
