Hey! We're Rachael and Hannah, and we are two sisters taking on the 2019 Chicago Marathon.

Together, we will be running with Team Salute to raise awareness of the sacrifice our military members and their families make, as well as to generate support for our Troops.

Within our community of family and friends, we have many service members and Veterans, and we are humbled by and grateful for their dedication to our Nation. Currently, our cousin, Gretchen, is serving with the U.S. Army, and in 2017 she completed a 9-month deployment in Iraq. As we are certain with anyone who has experienced the deployment of a loved one, it certainly tugged hard at our entire family's heart strings, and it has left a huge impression.

We cannot even begin to imagine the day-to-day of so many of our active duty military men and women. Even more so, we cannot begin to wrap our heads around the transition from active deployment overseas to life back on the Homeland, as so many thousands of military members and their families experience each year.

As sisters, we are running together to ensure military members - much like our family members, friends and their fellow soldiers - have access to resources, support and assistance in the event they need it in the future. We believe it's each American's responsibility to support the basic needs of our service men and women, treating every military member with the honor and dignity earned.

Each and everyday we are thankful and proud to be Americans. We know the freedoms and privileges we have are because of the sacrifices made by our military men, women, and families.

The funds raised by Team Salute, including the money you donate, go directly to support military members and their families. Your support means an incredible amount to us, but your donation could mean something even more to a service member and their family.
