$22.5 Million!! This is the amount of money that could go to charity and worthy causes if all 45,000 participants of the Chicago Marathon chose to run for a reason and raise $500. Be part of it and GiveForward to by running for the reason you care about most.

Raising money for things you care about has never been so easy! Here's how it works: You create a free fundraising page for your favorite charity, a friend battling an illness or any cause you care about by joining this group for the Chicago Marathon. Personalize your page by sharing your story, adding photos, videos, giving updates on your training or whatever you feel would compel your friends and family to donate. Then email the link to your friends, family and co-workers and ask them to support you as you run 26.2 miles for your cause.



So this marathon season, we encourage you to make use of your healthy body and your dogged determination to help others and GiveForward to the community - run for a reason. In the process you'll change someone's world.
