Growing up in Chicago's Little Village and Pilsen neighborhoods, some of my fondest childhood memories are of the Chicago Fire Football Club bringing joy to our community-whether through soccer clinics, fun activities, or their mascot putting smiles on our faces. Those moments inspired me then, and they continue to inspire me today. This year, I'm excited to return to my roots and represent the Chicago Fire Foundation as I run the Chicago Marathon.
