Two of my greatest passions are working with children and running. I'm excited to announce that I will be running the 2020 Chicago Marathon while supporting CASA. CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASA is dedicated to serving children that have been abused or neglected. This is very near and dear to my heart! Please consider donating any amount.
Team CASA members use the incredible experience of training for and running one of the world’s largest marathons to raise awareness and funds for the most vulnerable individuals in Chicago–children in the Cook County foster care system who have experienced abuse and/or neglect. Each runner has a goal of raising $2,300, or the cost of providing CASA services for one child for one year. Team CASA members directly impact the life of a child who will receive individual advocacy in court by a trained CASA volunteer. The advocacy that they receive has been shown to shorten the time they are in foster care and ensure they receive needed medical, educational, and social services while in care. The ultimate goal of CASA is to help each child find a safe, permanent home. The trajectory of these children’s lives are changed because they have a committed adult CASA volunteer who is with them throughout the most traumatic time in their lives. Thank you for being on our team and helping a child find a safe, permanent home.
