26.2 Miles to Chicago

Hi, I’m Sarah

I’m running the Chicago Marathon to raise funds for the Finish Strong Foundation who inspires and empowers youth to increase physical activity, expand literacy, and build community and self-esteem though running, reading, and performing acts of kindness.

Follow my journey as I train, fundraise, and find time to enjoy the miles!

Finish Strong Foundation

Help the Next Generation Finish Strong

What if one small moment could change a child’s life?

A first mile.
A first book.
A first act of kindness.

The Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation is on a mission to inspire and empower youth through running, reading, and acts of kindness—helping them build confidence, community, and self-esteem.

Because when kids discover movement, they find strength.

When they discover reading, they unlock possibilities.
And when they choose kindness, they create connection.

With your support, we can give more children the tools to believe in themselves and move forward—one step at a time.

Be part of their journey. Help them finish strong.
