  • I’m running the 2020
    Chicago Marathon for Mission of Our Lady of the Angels, a Catholic Mission
    serving the poor on Chicago’s West side.
    The Mission serves around 1,000
    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 love of Christ to a neighborhood desperately in need of
    hope.

    I am committed to train (running over 400 miles) over the
    long, hot summer and run 26.2 miles on Marathon Sunday (October 11) 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. Funds raised from Team OLA 2020
    will be used to complete the renovation & begin the programming out of the
    Mission’s new outreach center to the poor in West Humboldt Park, Chicago
    . The new outreach center will provide
    the very needed space for the Mission’s donation storage/ distribution, a
    handicapped accessible kitchen/ dining room, meeting space for neighborhood and
    retreat groups, and a 45+ bedroom retreat center for volunteers and retreat
    guests. We are very excited to be opening this facility in 2020!

    We need your help to complete this project! If you are able
    please consider donating. Every single donation no matter how small or big
    helps! With your donation you will be making a positive difference in somebody
    else’s life.

    Thank you for your prayers and support!
