In addition to asking for your donation, I would also like to invite you to join the wild crowd in cheering on the 52,000+ marathon runners (including myself) on October 12th, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. Please feel free to follow my journey on social media! Thank you so much for your generosity. Happy running!

Why I'm Running

On October 12, 2025, 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 patients and families in need.

Since 2011, the Advocate charity running team has raised over $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.  

As you may know, my dad fought and kicked cancer in the butt thanks to the help and support of Advocate Aurora staff! 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.
