Why I'm Running

On October 12, 2025, I, along with my sister, Hannah, and her husband, Dan, will be representing Advocate Health Care as members of the charity running team at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon! All donations will specifically benefit special needs research. As many of you know, my other sister, Andie, suffers from a rare syndrome, so our collective efforts will help others like her live more fulfilling lives.

Since 2011, the Advocate charity running team has raised over $2 million for Advocate Health Care programs and services, such as cancer research, helping children and adults with Down syndrome, and giving back to the nurses and physicians who save lives every day and much more.  

You too can support 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 over one million people have access to world-class care close to their home.
