I am running the Chicago Marathon in honor of Alan O'Brien who passed away on April 10th, 2015 after a year-long battle with a glioblastoma brain tumor. Alan's legacy is one of continuous learning, love, laughter, music, and generosity. Alan participated in a number of triathlons and masters swim teams and also hiked the Grand Canyon 18 times with several rim-to-rims! I played lacrosse at George Washington University with his daughter Caitlyn, and now am the godmother to her son Carter Alan Lang, who is named after Alan.
