Every day we watch Henry work so hard for things that come easily to most of us. Still, he keeps trying, keeps pushing and doesn’t give up until he gets the job done. In honor of that, Sam and I are running the Chicago Marathon this fall (on our wedding anniversary!). We want to show Henry that he can do hard things & that we will be with him every figurative and literal step of the way.

If you want to help us raise funds for Hen, and the millions of kids like him across the country, this is the spot to donate! (See where it goes below).

& if you want to see Sam drag 18% body fat 26.2 miles, we’ll see you in Chicago! (His add to this bio)

Love you all!
