Hello Family and Friends,
My dad and I are so excited to run the 2017 Chicago Marathon for the second year in a row as charity runners for Team GLASA. Running as charity runner makes the 20 weeks of training and running hundgreds of miles all around chicago so much more meaningful.
We had a blast running for GLASA last year, we decided to do it again!
All donations to the Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association (GLASA) helps them follow their goal of ‘Let No One Sit on the Sidelines’ for youth, adults and military veterans who have a physical or visual disability. GLASA provides inclusive recreation, fitness and competitive sports activities and offers opportunities for empowerment through education, leadership and training in collaboration with community-based organizations.
How your donation helps GLASA:
797 individuals are served each year through direct programming that features Paralympic and adaptive sports
3,000 youth and adults are impacted through education and outreach programs
225 injured military veterans are served through collaborations with VA hospitals and veteran service organizations
50% growth in program participation over the last three years
250 days of programming are offered each year, providing 2,411 program hours
60 different locations around Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin are used for GLASA programs
25 different sports are offered each year
6 core sports attract large numbers of participants- track, field, swimming, sled hockey, tennis and wheelchair basketball
We would like to thank you in advance for your support. We wouldn't be able to run the 26.2 miles without each and everyone one of you!
See you at the finish line,
Leah and Alvin Cardona
