2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team

Welcome to my fundraising page!

     I chose the Semper Fi & America's Fund because it is near and dear to my heart. The Semper Fi fund helps military veterans with issues concerning their health, creates a community and helps keep the veterans connected through their retreat trips with their platoons. My husband and his platoon had the opportunity to do the retreat in Houston, TX last year and when he came home he was beyond happy to reconnect with some of his marine buddies who he hasn't seen since his deployment in 2013 and others that he keeps in touch with but live too far to see each other. I have always supported the military and the non-profits but having a husband that is a combat veteran and seeing first hand what they do, I knew who I wanted to help raise money and run for. Please help me raise money for this amazing charity so they can keep working their magic helping one veteran and family at a time.
