In 2026, I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon for Advocate Children’s Heart Institute at Advocate Children’s Hospital — a cause that is deeply personal to me. My inspiration comes from my sister, who was once a patient in the pediatric cardiac ICU. Today, I’m running to support children and families who are walking that same path. Every mile I run is for kids facing heart conditions, for parents sitting at hospital bedsides, and for the teams providing lifesaving care when it’s needed most. By donating, you’re helping fund critical pediatric heart care, research, and support for families during some of their hardest moments. Your support means more than a race — it means stronger hearts, brighter futures, and hope for families just like mine. Thank you for helping me turn 26.2 miles into something that truly matters.
