The runner on the left is raising money for it, which assists abused children.
Of course one autumn Sunday in October means the Chicago Marathon, and I ran my 21st consecutive Bank of America Chicago Marathon on 10/10/10.
Running marathons is educational. Although I haven't run a race outside the Chicago area since the Cleveland Marathon in 2005--you get a unique view of city while running its streets--I can learn about an organization such as Equine Dreams, which offers therapeutic horseback riding to people living with disabilities. The athlete on the upper right runs for the horses--and for those they help.
And the Children's Tumor Foundation is the beneficiary of the efforts from the woman on the lower right.
