2010 Team LYDIA Goals
In 2009, we had close to 50 runners who raised approximately $13,500 (gross). This year, with your help, we hope to double that amount! We encourage you to have a friend, family member, or co-worker sign-up with you since it’s always easier to stay motivated when training with a buddy.

About LUA
Team LYDIA was formed in 2009 to raise money for the students of LYDIA’s Urban Academy in Chicago. LYDIA Urban Academy (LUA) is an alternative high school dedicated to the belief that anyone can learn if given personalized guidance and the proper academic environment. LUA averages approximately 25 students at any given time. The enrollment numbers are kept low in order to allow for a wonderfully low teacher/student ratio. [CLICK TO READ MORE]
