A Message From Asher Liu
I'm honored to run the 2025 Chicago Marathon for Team Gilda in memory of my dad, Donald Liu, who passed away when I was ten while saving two children from drowning in Lake Michigan. His selflessness shaped the way I see the world—and inspired my decision to become a doctor. As an incoming medical student at the University of Chicago, I’m proud to raise funds for Gilda’s Club, a place that offers free, compassionate support to anyone impacted by cancer or loss. Every mile I run is for him, and for the thousands of families Gilda’s Club continues to serve.
