The Fundraising Page of Mika Kipnis

Hey there, I’m Mika! Thanks for stopping by my page:) I’m running the 2025 Chicago marathon with team Gilda… saying that out loud still feels a little wild (it’s my first marathon!) This cause is personal to me, which is why I am taking on this journey with so much love and intention. I know from personal experience that illness can take such a toll on someone, and growing up thousands of miles away from my family, and having only my immediate family to turn to, meant that I needed to expand my idea of what family means. This is why I love the mission of Team Gilda—family can be anyone and anywhere if we open our hearts to it! I’m running this not only for myself and my family but hand-in-hand with all those who resonate with this movement. We’re all in this together! If you’re able, please consider donating. And if donating isn’t possible right now, simply sharing this message just as powerful! Thank you for being part of this with me and the community we’re all supporting. With so much love, Mika.
