2010 Chicago Marathon
The SCIS team made the 2010 Chicago Marathon fundraiser a huge success. 45 team members weathered the 87 degree heat to cover 26.2 miles in front of 1.7 million spectators. Many completed the marathon for the first time, others set personal bests. Everyone had a reason to run. Some ran with something to prove physically, others to improve their fitness, some to remember or in honor of somebody.
All 45 dedicated their efforts to raise money in support of curing spinal cord injury. Their friends, family, colleagues, and co-workers helped SCIS raise over $108,000 - a phenomenal figure. Each athlete worked hard to raise money and the effort paid off. 2010 was SCIS's best year on record.
100% of the money will go to critical research advancing curative therapies for spinal cord injury. The remarkable support for SCIS this year shows more people are aware of the need and willing to back it up with dollars. SCIS is grateful for the support.
