Dear Family and Friends:

On October 13th, I will once again be representing Ronald McDonald House Charities at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon!  As a member of Team RMHC, I have been training, fundraising, and ultimately running the 26.2 miles to help Keep Families Close.

The Ronald McDonald House serves as a respite for families whose child is ill by offering a place to stay, to rest, recharge, and food to eat. There is nothing more cherished than the ability to be able to focus on the care of your child without having to worry about  life's daily logistics.  At the Ronald McDonald House, families are better able to focus on the needs of their child.

I have seen first-hand the anguish and heartache of Parents with a child born with catastrophic health issues. It's gut-wrenching for them not to know the outcome of their Childs health.  I run for these Families and ask for your support.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated.

Together and with 26.2 miles we can do great things!

 Thank you - Mike
