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 cancer patients and their families. I am honored and feel humbled to be able to run my third Chicago marathon to benefit those in need going through challenges. I am fortunate to be healthy enough to run a marathon to help those who on a daily basis battle pain, uncertainty, financial hardship and much more. For me this run is more meaningful than just a run, it has a purpose. 

I hope you too can support Advocate Health Care and its mission. Your donation of any amount will not only help me achieve my goal, but will also help to ensure cancer patients have access to world-class care close to their home.

I want to thank you in advance for your help and support! No words or actions will be able to show how grateful I am but please know I really appreciate your support!
