The Bank of America, Chicago Marathon was run on Sunday, October 11th with 33,687 runners.  A record number of 123 charities were represented this year.   Ginger Imes, Jeff Lietz, Niki McGowan and Don Rivkin ran the 26.2 miles on behalf of Cal’s Angels.  Each of them accomplished an amazing personal goal and at the same time they raised $3,290.  Enough funds were raised to grant the wishes of at least four children or financially assist their families.  What an impact these four champions have made – THANK YOU!
