Lisa Wells Story

Introducing Lisa Wells! Lisa was thrilled to be selected to represent BGR in the Bank of America 2024 Chicago Marathon. This will be Lisa’s first marathon but she’s confident as she is no stranger to hurdles and pushing herself to new limits. When Lisa was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis several years ago, she experienced vertigo, dizziness, and one side of her body was numb. She dealt with relapses for many years before learning her triggers and becoming more active. Her purpose for running 26.2 miles is to inspire others who battle chronic illnesses to keep fighting and keep moving! If you would like to be a part of her journey and offer support, please click here. No amount is too small!
