Goal
I am excited to be running the 2024 Chicago Marathon for The Live Like Roo Foundation in memory of Kosar and Denver. Kosar was our rescue pitbull; he was diagnosed with cancer in December 2021 and passed away in March 2022. Denver was our Bengal cat who we lost to cancer in October of 2018.
The Live Like Roo Foundation started in 2015 when a shelter dog named "Sisqo" captured the heart of Sarah, our Executive Director. When he was rescued and renamed "Roosevelt" (Roo) and undergoing a medical exam, they found cancer. It was terminal. He was given a bucket list and lived like a king for 6 months. Many people followed his journey and Sarah was inspired to help others in his honor. Since 2016, we have granted over $2.3 million dollars for pets and rescue animals with a cancer diagnosis and sent 5500 cancer care packages. We hope that everyone, sick or not, lives every day like it is your last. Live Like Roo.
