A Second Chance At the Chicago Marathon


Once again, Marcy Wenderski is running the Chicago Marathon for her mom! Marcy’s mom lost her battle with multiple myeloma five years ago, just two years after her diagnosis. “She was a true fighter,” Marcy says, “and 26.2 miles seem like nothing when I think if her two-year battle with the disease.” The last time Marcy ran the Chicago Marathon, she felt that she let the marathon defeat her. This year, however, she is determined not to let that happen again! Since that first race, Marcy has run the Wisconsin Marathon and the MC200, and in both races, there were moments when she felt as though her mom was running right beside. These moments gave her renewed strength just when she needed it and allowed her to finish strong. Marcy hopes to honor her mother and her fighter’s spirit by conquering the Chicago Marathon in her memory.
