Hi! My name is Kayleigh. I am so excited to be on the 2026 Run With Heart team. This is my second marathon, but my first time running in my home city. This marathon is important to me for so many reasons such as running in the city I grew up in and running with my younger sister. However, the reason I specifically chose to run with the American Heart Association is because my dad, my favorite person, biggest role model, and the first person in my life to inspire me to love to run, was recently diagnosed with a heart disease. I am dedicating this marathon to him as a thank you for all he has done for me. If you can, please consider donating to my page. Every little bit helps!
