A Message From Shannan Carlson
Friends and Family,
In 2021, I ran my first and what I thought, last marathon. Over the past 3 years I have participated in multiple half marathons but knew I was missing something in my running experience, The Chicago Marathon (and seeing my kids at the finish line). In making the decision to participate in this race, i have decided to support an organization that I have admired for some time, Gilda's Club. We are all impacted by cancer in various ways and having a support group to help us navigate this illness regardless of how it is impacting us is incredibly important.
I am hoping that you can support me in my journey this year as I train for this race and support Gilda's Club. Any donation will make a difference and remember, I am doing the hard part, running 26.2 miles in the unknown Chicago weather on October 13!
