Ashley Summers
Donation Goal $700

Current location: Hoffman Estates, IL
Occupation: Day Camps & Special Events Coordinator at WDSRA         
Previous Experience Running: 3rd marathon so far but I have been running since I can remember. I remember when I used to be a lot faster and didn’t get so tired!
Who do you rely of for support?
My amazing husband Jason, my family, friends, and everyone at WDSRA
What do you like to do when you are not running?
Swim, bike, take our dogs to the woods, read books, and hang out with good friends while eating good food.
What does it mean to be running for Team WDSRA?
Since I’ve been working at WDSRA I have seen so many challenges overcome during programs offered by WDSRA. I know the quality of our programs and the determination of our participants make magic happen. All of our WDSRA families are so supportive of our programs and go above and beyond for us so I want to take any opportunity I can to give back to them. They are my constant source of inspiration and for that, I am forever grateful. Running for Team WDSRA has also given me the opportunity to bring my passion for marathoning into the office and watch it excite other people into doing the marathon.
What are you planning on doing immediately following the marathon?  
I cannot wait to be done so I can hug every one of the Team WDSRA runners. After that I’m sure I’ll be hungry so then celebrate with everyone with Lou Malnatis pizza.
