A welcome packet will be forwarded to your attention including your training T-shirt, information about Open Heart Magic and the Miles For Magic Team so that you can get started with your training and fundraising for the cause. Attention Chicago Marathon Runners: Registrations for the Chicago Marathon willl close quickly this year! Please try to register for the Chicago Marathon as soon as registation opens. Pre-close Chicago Marathon registration fund-raising minimums are only $500. We will have a limited number of post close-registrations after the race closes. Your post-close registration fund-raising commitment is $1,000 (or $1,250 for complimentary CARA membership/training or the Magic Road Crew Support Package.) The post-close form is not currently live. If you have already signed up for the marathon pre-close, then your fund-raising commitment is $500 (or $750 for complimentary CARA membership/training or the Magic Road Crew Support Package.) You will need to fill out and send in the pre-close registration form which is not currently live. Step 2 Set Up Your Personalized Fundraising Page While the minimum fundraising requirement is $500 ($1,000 for post Chicago Marathon close-registrations) Miles for Magic is going to make it easy for you to and exceed your monetary goal. The easiest way to raise funds is to set up your own Miles for Magic fundraising page. There, you'll be able to add your own welcome message, your goal and personalize the site with a picture. The electronic, personalized website is safe, secure and efficient so that you can track your progress and make it easy for family and friends to donate to the cause. Sample emails and correspondence will be included in your Welcome Packet so fundraising will be easy. Click Here to Create Your Own Miles For Magic Personal Fundraising Page.
