Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and for considering supporting my journey to the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon.

This marathon is about much more than running 26.2 miles. It's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families facing childhood cancer.

My connection to this cause began years ago. My mom spent several years working with Flashes of Hope and Kick-It, organizations dedicated to bringing hope and support to children battling cancer and their families. Growing up, I had the opportunity to volunteer alongside her at events like Big Shots Little Stars and many other fundraisers. Those experiences introduced me to incredible children and families whose strength, resilience, and optimism left a lasting impression on me. Even at a young age, I saw firsthand how important hope, community, and research are in the fight against cancer.

Years later, our family's journey became deeply personal when my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 lymphoma. Watching her face that battle with unwavering courage, determination, and grace gave me an even greater appreciation for the strength it takes to fight cancer. Her journey is the reason I'll be standing on the starting line in New York City.

While I'm running in honor of my mom, I'm raising money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation because every child deserves the opportunity to grow up, chase their dreams, and live a healthy life. Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children in the United States, and too many families are forced to face challenges no family should ever have to endure. Through groundbreaking research, innovative treatments, and family support programs, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is helping change that.

Every donation, no matter the amount, directly supports the fight against childhood cancer. Whether you're able to give $10, $25, $100, or simply share this page with others, you're helping fund lifesaving research and bringing hope to children and families when they need it most.

Training for 26.2 miles will require months of early mornings, long runs, and hard work, but every mile will remind me why this journey matters. 

Thank you for believing in this mission and for being part of my journey. Your generosity, encouragement, and support truly mean more than I can express.

Let's make every mile count.
