Why I'm Running

On October 11, 2026, I will be representing Advocate Health Care as a member of the charity running team at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon!I will be training, fundraising, and ultimately running 26.2 miles to benefit Aurora Zilber Family Hospice, a place that provides end of life care with homelike comfort in Wauwatosa, WI. End of life is not just medical, it is emotional, spiritual and deeply human. As a health care worker, I have seen first hand how much comfort, dignity and peace hospice care brings, not just to patients, but also to their families. 

Since 2011, the Advocate charity running team has raised over $2 million for Advocate Health Care programs and services. You too can support Advocate Health Care by contributing to my efforts to fundraise. Your donation of any amount will not only help me achieve my goal, but will also help to ensure that no one faces end of life alone.

All my gratitude,

Michele
