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.
“I didn’t know what to expect at the Mercy Mile. I’d heard about it, but I really didn’t know what to expect, and it was much more emotional than I thought” - Wendy Davidson. Watch Wendy Davidsons’ team experience video

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 learn all the necessary skills to succeed both in school and in life.
