Hello family and friends! Though many of you know, I’m officially announcing that on October 12th, I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon! Being six months postpartum, I wasn’t sure if I’d be ready for 26.2, but with the love and support of Nehal and our family, IT IS HAPPENING! Running as a new mom of two has been a humbling adventure between recovering from pregnancy/ delivery, sleep deprivation, and juggling crazy schedules. However, I have kept my eye on the goal by keeping an important person and his family on my mind. Last year, we lost my amazing brother-in-law, Steve “Pickle,” to glioblastoma. Going through this first year without him has been a roller coaster, full of ups, downs, and big emotions. I’m so incredibly grateful to the services our family has access to, and have seen just how important they are during such a fragile life experience. After seeing first hand the benefits of services for families impacted by cancer, I have chosen to run the Chicago Marathon with Gilda’s Club, a non profit organization that provides 24/7 services to ANYONE affected by cancer. I humbly ask that you consider donating to my fundraiser, to help families like mine whose lives have been changed by this devastating disease. Thank you so much! XO- Lenel
