Jeff Chiapello

All the children and families at Casa de los Angeles are grateful to the runners.  One special someone, Antonio, is particularly cheering for Jeff.  Antonio lives with his younger sister and mom in Santa Clara, the Casa de los Angeles apartment building.  They used to used to live in the town of San Luis Potosi, but Antonio's mother couldn’t find work there. They came to San Miguel de Allende two years ago and were sleeping in the bus station until Sr. Miguel, the director of Casa de los Angeles found us. Now life is better.

 

 
  Running the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon with Team Casa
Jeff's Total: $10

Thank you to Jeff's Donors: Donna Quathamer

I can run for miles and miles - and now we just added a marathon to my list of things to do before I die.  I coach over at University of St. Francis, I told one of my Senior runners that if she signed up for the marathon that I would too, thinking she would never sign up.  Well, she did.  I signed up on day 1 and haven't looked back since.  Shortly after my brave announcement on Facebook, Kevin O'Donnell contacted me to run for TEAM CASA.  I was looking to run for a charity anyway, so why not run for Team Casa?  Casa holds a special place in my wife's heart, as she accompanied Kevin on a trip back when we were seniors at North Central.  She still talks about going back frequently, possibly as early as this summer.  So if you can spare a few bucks, please do.  It's really important that this place stay open for these kids.  Your help will not go unnoticed.  I will send an official update of how I ran shortly after I am able to walk again :)  By the way - I'm also looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon, so I'm shooting for 3 hours, 10 minutes.  Thanks for your continued support and prayers.  God Bless!
