Why I'm Running

On October 13, 2024, 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.

I began running as a serious hobby in 2022, and quickly got hooked. With the mutual support of some of my best friends, we've competed in a series of smaller races throughout late 2022 and 2023, and I've made it a personal life goal to complete at least one marathon. I've worked hard this year to give myself the best chance I can to complete the 2024 Chicago Marathon and am excited to compete this year! My family has a strong connection with Advocate Health Care, as my wife has been a nurse and patient safety manager with Advocate for over a decade. She now works directly with the Children's Hospital, and I can't think of a better cause in our family for me to be running for. 

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