Dear Family and Friends,

I am training for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon as a member of the Advocate Health Care charity running team! This race, on October 13, 2024, is a way for me to make a difference in the health care in my community.

That is why I am asking for my friends and family to support my efforts. I hope you will consider making a tax-deductible donation on my behalf. No donation is too small!

Advocate Health Care’s premier charity running team, has brought in nearly $2 million in the past thirteen years. Each participant in the program pledges to raise a certain amount of money as they train for the event. I have set a personal goal to raise at least $1750.00 for the Chicago Marathon and 100 percent of funds raised through the team go directly to Advocate’s programs and services. These programs use the funds to expand access to care, enhance patient experience, enable innovation and improve health outcomes.

I want to thank you in advance for your love and support! This is an exciting time and I hope you will choose to support me in my efforts to make a difference. I will be thinking of you as I cross the finish line on October 13, 2024.

All the Best, 

Goldie Yip
