For the 10th year in a row, I'll be running the Chicago Marathon to help animals in need. All donations will go toward the Live Like Roo Foundation, who help animals battling cancer. Live Like Roo helps pay cancer treatment bills, send care packages, help with "bucket lists," and help families emotionally as well. Every dollar goes right to Live Like Roo.

I can't believe it'll be a DECADE of helping animals through these marathons, but I couldn't do it without the generosity of all of you

This race will weigh heavy with the loss of my brother Tommy, and my nephew Joey. My hope is I can save a dog in Tommy’s honor, and a cat in Joey’s honor. Both loved animals so much, and were always supportive of me year in and year out
