Ameesh Shah’s Chicago Marathon Journey

Running with Purpose in 2025

In October 2025, I’ll be lining up to run the Chicago Marathon — but for me, this race is about far more than just the miles. It’s about making a difference.

I’m running to support Girls in the Game, an organization dedicated to giving girls the chance to lead, to grow, and to believe in themselves through sports, health, and leadership programs.

As a father to three amazing daughters, I see every day how important it is for girls to have opportunities to build confidence and strength. That’s why this cause means so much to me — because I want every girl to have the chance to chase her dreams and find her power.

By supporting Girls in the Game, you’re helping to create spaces where young girls can feel seen, heard, and supported — on and off the field. Every step I take in Chicago will be for them.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

If you can, please donate to support Girls in the Game and help me make every mile count!
