Sunrise

This past year my body/psychic has been in rebellion at the idea of falling out of bed before 6:00 a.m. But here I am watching the sun rise over the Bass Pro Lake after running seven miles from home. Now, why would haul my a—out of bed at 4:30 to go run? 

Friendship. I am fortunate to know folks from down the street to Korea and back that I consider my friends…folks I would do anything for—simply because I admire, appreciate, value, who they are. I would even run a marathon for some of my friends. And that’s why I am up at this …… hour. 

My friend Ken McLaughlin is COO of PKD Foundation. He “invited” me to run the Chicago Marathon to raise awareness for those who provide treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and to improve the lives of those it affects. This happens through promoting research, education, advocacy, support and awareness on a national level, along with direct services to local communities across the country. And, of course, this does not happen without money. So, the Marathon effort on my part is to also fundraise for the PKD Foundation. 

Please support my efforts to raise money for this great cause by donating to my Fundraiser at https://pkdfoundation.salsalabs.org/2018bankofamericachicagomarathon/p/garylogansfundraisingpage.
