Jerry Runs The Chicago Marathon

On October 12, 2014, Jerry will participate in the 37th anniversary Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Jerry will be running and representing two causes. The first is Team Paws Chicago. TEAM PAWS is a charity racing and fundraising team, benefitting PAWS Chicago, a national model and the Midwest's largest No Kill humane animal shelter. With TEAM PAWS' support, PAWS Chicago is able to rescue nearly 5,800 homeless pets each year, providing them with medical care, shelter and the care they need and deserve to be adopted by loving families. Additionally, PAWS Chicago provides over 18,000 free or at costs spay/neuter surgeries to prevent unwanted pets from entering the shelter system, helping to build a No Kill community.

The second organization is of course, the Azumah Student Assistance Program. The Azumah Student Assistance Program (ASAP) is dedicated in making a difference in the lives of the youth in underserved Chicago communities. Incorporated in 2004, ASAP is committed to providing financial scholarship assistance for underserved students seeking private secondary education in the Chicagoland area in addition to supporting targeted educational youth programs. Since the inception, ASAP proudly has impacted the lives of several youth by rewarding multiple scholarships while providing various support to qualified youth programs annually. In 2010 the ASAP Foundation joined with Link Unlimited, an organization that provides educational services and mentoring to economically disadvantaged African American youth in the Chicago area.

Jerry’s Goal is simple, finish the Marathon and raise money for two great causes Team Paws and ASAP. Jerry needs your support.
