Why I'm Running

On October 13, 2024, I will be representing Advocate Health Care as a member of the charity running team at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! I am honored to be a part of the Live Like Eileen running team, and I am so lucky to have experienced the gift of Eileen’s unconditional love and contagious laughter in my life. She continuously inspired all those around her and the participation in this marathon is no exception. Any proceeds surpassing my fundraising goal will be donated to the Eileen Sheahan Memorial Scholarship at St. Joan of Arc - once my goal is reached, please Venmo @chloebrown44 so that this additional funding can go towards the scholarship!

Since 2011, the Advocate charity running team has raised nearly $2 million for Advocate Health Care programs and services. As a member of the charity running team, I will be training, fundraising, and ultimately running 26.2 miles to benefit patients and families in need. This team is a group of people who are supporting cancer research, helping children and adults with Down syndrome, giving back to the nurses and physicians who save lives every day and much more.  

Your donation of any amount will not only help me achieve my goal, but will also help to ensure that over one million people have access to world-class care close to their home.
