I am running the 2024 NYC marathon in honor of my dad, who was was my biggest supporter and cheerleader. My dad was an avid runner throughout his lifetime. The NYC marathon was one of his favorite races. He even got a tattoo of the NYC marathon logo!
I’m running the NYC marathon with the American Heart Association for a few reasons close to my heart. My dad suddenly passed away due to heart failure in 2020. I know he would be the loudest person on the sidelines cheering me on, or maybe even running with me. My mom also suffered a heart attack in 2018. Her strength continuously inspires me to get across the finish line. My grandfather, aunt and uncles also suffer from heart conditions.
Thank you to everyone for supporting me and this cause. Hope to see you all November 3rd!!
