Why I'm Running

It is every runners dream to run in a major marathon, through my years practicing the sport I have always found ways to help others with my running, it fuels my heart and spirit to do it for others while I fulfill my dream.

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.  

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 one of my biggest dreams, but will also help to ensure that over one million people have access to world-class care close to their home.
