I chose to join Team CASA because I believe in the organization and its impact. CASA of Cook County tirelessly advocates for the rights and well-being of abused and neglected children, providing them with a voice in the legal system and a chance for a brighter future. By running this marathon and rallying support, I hope to contribute to CASA’s mission in ensuring that every child in Cook County receives the care, support, and advocacy they deserve. It’s a cause that resonates deeply with me, and I am determined to make a difference through my passion for running!
