BECOME A HERO TODAY!

You can be a Hero for a child in crisis by running, jogging, biking, swimming, you name it -- the choice is yours!


Our Heroes have raised more than $6 million over the past 13 years through their participation in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the signature event of our Heroes Endurance Fundraising program.
