Will 45, Arlington Heights, IL

Every one of the 45,000 people competing in the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon has a unique motivation to run, whether it be to raise money for a charity, beat a personal record or run in the memory of a friend or family member. That personal motivation carries them to the finish line and begins a ripple effect that reaches out to the crowds and communities that surround them. To celebrate that positive surge, we are highlighting 10 Chicago-area athletes participating in this year’s marathon who represent that opportunity effect – turning one good action into another. Each of these athletes has made a commitment not only to complete the marathon, but to make a positive impact on their community. Meet the 10 athletes who represent the mass of 45,000 who are all putting opportunity in motion at the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

William Beiersdorf’s motivation is to provide military families in need with the support they deserve. William, a Naval reservist, was called to active duty for more than a year the day after 9/11.  While serving his country away from home, his family endured severe financial hardships.  After completing his duty, William and his wife founded Team Salute to provide financial assistance to military families.  William and the organization now operate a running team at the Marathon each year to raise funds and awareness for the cause.
