David Freireich fundraising for Team JCFS

Support Team JCFS at the 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!

What inspired you to run/walk the Bank of America Chicago Marathon with Team JCFS?

Never thought I would run a Marathon, but Dana’s invitation and participating on the team got me thinking, “Why not?”

What program are you running/walking for?

Project Esther

How does JCFS Redefine What’s Possible? or Describe one moment when you knew that your work with JCFS made a difference in someone’s life?

JCFS has helped me and my family. This is one way to be there for someone else and give back.

What will you be thinking about at mile 20?

Haven’t gotten there yet, but suspect I’ll be really proud of myself.

What food will you hunt down after the race to replenish those 2600 calories?

Chinese – pot stickers and chicken chow fun with wide noodles and lots of tea

What do you love about running/walking?

Being outside, taking in the sights and sounds all around me
