Support Yusef Elfiki in the 2010 Chicago Marathon

Yusef Elfiki

Chicago, IL

Past Marathons:

Tampa 2009; Tokyo 2009; Chicago 2009; New York 2009

Marathon Time Goal:

Just to Finish

Inspiration:

For the first two years that SCIS was in the Chicago Marathon, I witnessed friends and family lace up their running shoes to run for the cause. And that was inspiring. But this year, something different has happened: complete strangers have felt compelled enough by our mission to pound the pavement all summer long. I'm running to cure spinal cord injury, but this year I'm also running to salute these former strangers.
