2019 Chicago Marathon Runners share why they are running.

Elizabeth Adkins & Margaret Coyle's Team

Margaret and Elizabeth have been friends for 22 years. As we approach our 30th year around the sun, we thought what better way to say goodbye to our 20s than running the 2019 Chicago Marathon (normal, right?!). We decided to take it one step further (no pun intended) and run in honor of our best friend, Missy. Missy was diagnosed with Lupus in 2010. She has been such inspiration and source of strength as she battles what she describes as an invisible disease. We hope that through running for the Lupus Society of Illinois that we will bring more awareness and support to Lupus. We love you Missy!
