Hi, my name is Neha, and I’m running the 2025 Chicago Marathon! My running journey started unexpectedly when I randomly signed up for a half marathon. Since then, I’ve completed eight half marathons, and now I’m taking the leap to run my very first full marathon! It’s a huge challenge, and I’m incredibly excited to be part of this event.

Training for a marathon is no small feat. It requires commitment, discipline, and hours of effort – which is why I’m also using this challenge to stay accountable and make a positive impact. For every mile I run or walk during my training, I’m donating a dollar to Trinity Community Ministries . It’s my way of making this experience mean more than just crossing the finish line.

I invite you to join me in matching my training donations! Each sunday I'll be posting my miles accomplished for the week and you can match a specific number of miles or sponsor an entire week, day, or month of training. Whether it's for a single day or multiple weeks, your contribution will double the impact we make!

Thank you so much for supporting me on this journey. Your encouragement and contributions mean the world to me, and together, we can make a positive impact in our community while I take on the challenge of running the Chicago Marathon!
