Mutts of the Midway hasn't added a story.
I hoped that when I entered my name into the lottery for the Chicago Marathon for 2020 that fate would tell me I could rest; that I had done enough with running my first marathon and I could retire as a runner.
Instead, fate told me to get moving.
So here I am: less than 8 months away from the Chicago Marathon and I won't promise that it will be pretty, but I promise that I will finish.
I am dedicating my marathon to my mother. My mom, Marge, passed away when I was three. One thing I "got" from her was her love of animals. She was always saving a dog or cat in need and I believe that I carry on one of her many great qualities in the work I do with animal welfare.
I have a lot of dreams for what Marge's Medical Fund can mean for dogs in the future, but for now, my goal is to get it started with $5,000.
Medical care for rescue dogs can be expensive. While many healthy dogs come through rescue, it takes one case to cost 10x their adoption fee to need donors like you to make it happen.
That's where you come in.
Your donation allows us to save moms like Thea (pictured on this page). She was heartworm positive and had seven puppies attached to her when we committed to her, but we were able to because of people like you donating to their care.
This work is hard and expensive, but it is so, so worth.
Donate today to get Marge's Medical Fund off the ground!
