I like running, but usually only 5 k's. In fact the most I'd ever ran before was 13.1 miles.On a whim I decided to run a full marathon. When I first signed up for the Chicago marathon I had only selfish fitness motives but after learning about the many worthy causes so deserving of sponsorship I had to become part of something bigger than myself. I chose the Organization for Autism Research in honor of my brother's great niece and nephew who are both Autistic.  Thank you in advance for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page, and for any donations you are able to make to this very worthy cause. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. Many thanks for your support -- and please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
