Why I'm Running

On October 11, 2026, 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.

My sister in law is a big inspiration for me applying to this charity as she is a 16 year old on the autism spectrum. She is a light in everyone’s lives and I would love to provide resources to children just like her. All proceeds raised through my marathon efforts will go directly to the Autism Program at the Children’s Advocate Center. Your support will help provide essential services, therapy, and resources to children with autism and their families, making a meaningful difference in their lives every day. 

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.
