COVER STORY
Running Down a Dream
30
Rob Swiderski set out on a mission to raise awareness and resources to support the mental health and wellness of Chicago Police Officers. After completing an ultramarathon in April to begin his quest, Swiderski wanted to go an extra mile or two to help those like his father, who served the Department for more than 30 years. So on June 19-20, Swiderski took off on another marathon: a run to visit each of the 22 Chicago police districts. Follow his footsteps in this special report. COVER PHOTO BY JENNIFER THORSEN
