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.

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.  

My brother in law, Warren, has been working for this group since graduating medical school and will continue post-residency. It’s a way for me to run and to help a brother out (quite literally)!

I’ve grouped myself into the millennials that run sub-group so help me keep the fun going this October! Thank you all for your support.
