After being an observer of Team SCIS in 2008, I became intrigued by the ENTIRE marathon experience--the fans, the international athletes, the universal purpose, and the camaraderie involved.  I believe the Chicago marathon is exactly in the spirit of what SCIS.org is trying to restore....the health of the human body and spirit.
