On October 11, the 100 Club’s Chicago Marathon Team will be dedicating their miles to our mission of supporting Illinois first responders and their families.

Meet Christina!

As the wife of an Illinois firefighter/paramedic with the Grayslake Fire Protection District, this cause is deeply personal to her. That's why she's chosen to dedicate her very first marathon to the 100 Club of Illinois and the families we serve.

"I am honored to dedicate every mile of my FIRST marathon to the 100 Club of Illinois because their mission is deeply personal to me. I know the feeling of watching my husband leave for a 24+ hour shift, hoping and praying he will walk back through our front door the next morning to me and our one-year-old daughter."

After discovering a passion for running over the last few years, she's taking on her biggest challenge yet - 26.2 miles in support of the heroes who protect our communities and the families who stand beside them.

"Every training run, early morning, sore muscle, and every mile has a purpose far greater than crossing the finish line. I can't wait to see my husband and our daughter at the finish line. Seeing their smiling faces will remind me why every mile mattered."

🇺🇸 REMEMBERING 9/11 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years later, the members of the Grayslake Fire Protection District remember the 343 firefighters, 60 law enforcement officers, and thousands of innocent people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

Their sacrifice reminds us that the responsibility to serve does not end when the day is over. Every call, every training exercise, and every moment we stand ready to help someone in need carries forward the commitment demonstrated that day.

We honor their sacrifice by continuing to serve—with courage, compassion, and dedication to the communities we protect.

We remember.
We honor.
We will never forget.
September 11, 2001
