My 2025 Chicago Marathon Charity:  Anti-Cruelty

While I have mixed feelings about the human race, my love of animals is unwavering. So, as I embark on one last marathon running journey, it felt right to raise money for an organization that gave me by two best friends. 

I adopted my boys — though I’m sure they’d argue I’m their human — Walter and Bruno, from Anti-Cruelty in 2019 and 2022, respectively. They’re professional snorers, master couch hogs, trash bin connoisseurs, and, above all, unconditional lovers.

The work that Anti-Cruelty does is incredible. They are committed to rescuing and rehabilitating animals, finding them loving homes, and advocating for animal welfare. With your help, we can make a real impact in the lives of these pets who deserve a second chance. 

I'm eternally grateful for any support you can provide. Every dollar you donate will go directly towards providing shelter, medical care, nourishment, and love for our furry friends still looking for a forever home.
