Age: 33 (ON RACE DAY)

Occupation/title/what you do: MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT

What motivated you to join the PAWS Chicago Marathon team?   I WANTED TO RUN THE MARATHON THIS YEAR AND DO IT FOR A CAUSE THAT I BELIEVE IN

Is this your first marathon? THIS WILL BE MY FOURTH MARATHON. SECOND TIME DOING CHICAGO

On mile 20, what will you think of to keep going? A BIG BOWL OF ICECREAM AND A WARM SHOWER.

What obstacles/fears/challenges are you overcoming by running the marathon? MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS MAKING TIME TO TRAIN DESPITE A REALLY HECTIC WORK SCHEDULE. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE SO I KNOW THAT I CAN DO IT AGAIN.

Why PAWS Chicago?  ONE MY TWO PUGS CAME FROM A RESCUE AND I COULDN'T IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HIM! PAWS' EFFORT TO BUILD A NO-KILL CITY MEANS A LOT TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

How did you find out about the PAWS Chicago Marathon Team? I'VE BEEN TO  PAWS EVENTS BEFORE AND AM ON THE PAWS EMAIL DISTRIBUTION LIST. I READ THE  EMAIL AND IT GOT ME THINKING ... THE FLYER IN THE SHAMROCK SHUFFLE PACKAGE PUSHED ME OVER THE EDGE.
