Why I'm Running

On October 13, 2024, I will be running the Chicago Marathon!  I loved running Boston and NYC to help kids, so I'm running for a local Chicago hospital - Advocate Children's Hospital for their pediatric oncology fund.  As a member of the Advocate Health Care charity running team, I will be training, fundraising, and ultimately running 26.2 miles to benefit 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 supporting cancer research, helping children and adults with Down syndrome, giving back to the nurses and physicians who save lives every day and much more.  

Your donation of any amount will not only help me achieve my goal, but will also help to ensure that over one million people have access to world-class care close to their home!
