Hello family, friends, or whatever label you give yourself in relation to me.

I am Xavier Sanchez and I am running the Chicago Marathon and raising money for the Andrew Weishar Foundation.

I wrote this bolded section below awhile back and shared it to my fundraising page. I am now sharing it here as well.

Hello everyone!

I am excited to be running my first marathon come October and doing so in support of Weish4Ever and the Andrew Weishar Foundation. 

This run is not just a run but an opportunity to pay it forward and raise funds for such an incredible foundation.

Over the years, I have gotten to know the Weishar Family and the work they do through their mission. It has been incredible to see the smiles the put on faces and their continued dedication to paying it forward. What I appreciate most is how they build connection and form a family with all their beneficiaries. It is truly special to witness.

If anyone is looking to know more about them, I shared a brief note and attached a link to their website below.

The Andrew Weishar Foundation is a Chicago-based, non-profit organization dedicated to “Paying it Forward” by bringing joy and financial relief to families with adolescents or young adults (“AYA”) battling cancer. 

For more about the foundation, visit their website. https://www.weish4ever.org/about/our-mission

Every donation, large or small, will provide direct financial assistance and ensure families know they are not alone in this fight. 

Thank you for paying it forward!

I am now just under 60 days away from the race.

I am so grateful for all those that have supported the journey so far and would appreciate more to join in as I am so close to my goal. I am just $375 away from that total.

As some know I had a significant knee surgery last year and have been working my way back. In future stories I’ll explain more but wanted to alert my readers with what I have been working towards.

I will be coming out with a ton of blog posts over the next two months as I get closer and closer to race day. I will be sharing photos, videos, notes, full articles, quotes, etc., throughout my running blogs.

Hopefully you will all tune in, subscribe, and stay close to your phones or computers as I hope to share it all with you all.

Thanks and have a good night!
