You can be a Hero to children in need by running the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon for Mercy Home. With every step you take, you'll help give abused, neglected, and abandoned children a safe, loving home.
Our Heroes are an integral part of the Mercy Home family because they literally work miracles in the lives of our kids. Because of their dedication, they make it possible for our kids to learn all the necessary skills to succeed both in school and in life. We hope you will consider joining the ranks of those who make this possible!
