Why I'm Running

On October 13, 2024, I will be representing Advocate Health Care as a member of the charity running team at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! As a member of the charity running team, I will be training, fundraising, and ultimately running 26.2 miles to benefit young patients and families in need.

Since 2011, the Advocate charity running team has raised nearly $2 million for Advocate Health Care programs and services. By joining the charity running team, I am part of a diverse group of people who are not only supporting cardiac medicine and heart health, but also cancer research, helping children with Down syndrome and special needs, giving back to the nurses and physicians who save lives every day and much more.  

You can support Pediatric Medicine and Advocate Health Care by contributing to my efforts to fundraise. Your donation of any amount will not only help me achieve my goal, but will also help to ensure that nearly one million children have access to world-class care close to their home.
