Resolved to Go the Distance
Lucia Webb
As 2024 gets under way, many of you know someone who has resolved to run or wheel in a marathon this year. Or maybe you’ve made a commitment to completing a marathon this year - whether for the first time or the tenth time. Either way, consider joining Team U2FP for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. As an official charity partner of this world-class event, we’re able to offer racers guaranteed admission and even reimburse their application fee after the race!

When you join Team U2FP, your fundraising efforts will support U2FP’s important work, especially our Cure Advocacy Network (CAN) initiative. CAN advocates work to pass legislative funding bills for SCI research in their home states. This is the real impact our racers have. Your participation in Team U2FP could help get our bill over the finish line!
Racers like Kenichiro Kuninobu, Thomas Cloyd, and Mike Drimel (L to R) have helped power advocates like John Martinson (right), who are working towards an SCI research grant bill in Wisconsin.
As a member of Team U2FP, you’ll train for your race while also spreading the word about our organization to your friends and family. We’ll also host virtual happy hours with our racers to get to know each other, share fundraising tips and learn about the important work U2FP is doing for the SCI community.
All Team U2FP Participants Receive:
- A Personalized Fundraising Page
- A Team U2FP Performance Shirt
- A Fundraising Guide
- Application Fee Reimbursement After the Race
- Support Along the Way
Don’t miss out on your opportunity to receive a guaranteed spot as a runner or wheeler in this world-class racing event.
