2022 Chicago Marathon Fundraiser: Team IMPACT

Emma and I love running and love how Team Impact uses running and other sports to help with the emotional trauma and social isolation that children facing serious chronic illnesses experience by matching them with a college athletic team. No child should be sidelined by sickness.

Team IMPACT's unique multiyear program signs children onto college athletic teams across the country, and based on a clinical model, ensures each has the personalized game plan they need to win –effectively building confidence and independence. Team IMPACT guides a symbolic relationship between teams and children facing life-altering diagnoses and chronic illness, focused on socialization, empowerment, and resilience. A program built on strength and camaraderie, Team IMPACT ensures kids develop socially and never feel alone. We truly believe in Getting All Kids in the Game.
