This month, Team Move For Hunger is once again traveling to the Windy City for the Rock 'n' Roll Chicago 1/2 Marathon, 10K & 5K. This is our fifth time turning miles into meals in Chicago, with it being our fourth at this particular race. We are so excited about the awesome members on this years' team, it's full of longtime supporters, new additions and a bunch of amazing people dedicated to helping us fight hunger and food waste. Check out these Chicago superstars!
National Van Lines One of Move For Hunger's most vocal and involved partners, National Van Lines is no stranger to this event. 
In 2016, National's COO Tim Helenthal participated in the half marathon along with his daughter, Lauren. Tim raised an astonishing $6,621 and still holds the title of Team Move For Hunger's top fundraiser! This year, Tim has recruited a team of 13 and is dedicated to raising $10,000 for our hunger relief and food waste reduction programs. National's "Move Out Hunger running team" have made their own race shirts just as their full-fridge brigade is devoted to stomping out hunger. Want to help them hit their goal?

Suite Home Chicago Another repeat, the group from Suite Home Chicago is once again turning their miles into meals with the Team. A member of our Corporate Housing program since 2016, this awesome company has not only raised money and collected food, they graciously put our staff up in one of their furnished apartments when we visit the area. The family affair will be repeated this year, with owner Jennifer Breen accompanied by her children, Gabriela Bankova, Gabriela's husband, and a new smiling face, Matthew Tobel.
ReloTrans Auto Relocation A newcomer to the Team, Thomas Bailey from ReloTrans Auto Relocation is making his debut on the course this year. Thomas met Executive Director Adam Lowy at the beginning back in 2009 and was instantly impressed with the organization. According to Thomas, "Although ReloTrans is a vehicle relocation company, we decided to join the Move For Hunger family and started supporting as soon as we could. Being able to fly the Move For Hunger flag on our website and some of our other promotional items is an absolute honor and a privilege." When asked by Adam to do the race, Thomas instantly accepted the challenge. He ran his first 5K about five years ago but thought any distance over 4-5 miles was too much. After training for weeks, Thomas feels great and is excited for race day, even exploring the option of a full marathon someday (depending on how the half goes of course). The energy and determination of participants in races like these are inspiring to Thomas and he's excited to get out there to turn his miles into meals with the Team, help him hit his goal by donating here!
