GO, JENNY! Such a great story by WTTW - Chicago PBS Kristen Thometz! "Among the supporters cheering Doan on was Oak Park resident Kelley Rompza Kitley, who was named social worker of the year by Mental Health America Kitley says she’s grateful for Doan’s commitment to raising awareness and funds for mental health. “It’s a great opportunity to break the stigma and silence of mental health,” said Kitley, who brought her daughter Emma to watch Doan complete her challenge.

“It’s so exciting when people challenge themselves to do things that seem unimaginable,” said Kitley. “And it’s great to see a community of people to come together for this cause.”

The 29-year-old Wicker Park resident completed her Guinness World Record attempt for longest marathon hula-hoop session Saturday morning. “I’m so relieved,” Jenny Doan said.
