In a few days I’ll be driving to Chicago with my son, Michael, and my granddaughter, Mika. We are going to Chicago to participate in The Loyola Academy Doc Aiello Run for Someone. Another son is driving up with his wife and two daughters to participate in the run as well.
The 5K will take place on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31 at 10 am At Loyola Academy High School in Glenview, Illinois. The race is in its 7th year and is sponsored by Loyola Academy. It was renamed for John D. “Doc” Aiello, a beloved member of the Loyola Academy Faculty who taught for 37 years, and passed away last August. Besides being an inspiring teacher and an outstanding mentor and considerate friend, he was the best big brother a sister could ever have. He was a good man who lived a good life and was kind to everyone he ever came in contact with.
All proceeds from the run will benefit the Doc Aiello Scholarship. This will be the first year that my brother, Jack, has not participated in the Run. This will be my first 5K. I will be walking it for my brother and someone how I know he will be there with me and my family.
