Running became deeply personal for me in 2021 after the sudden passing of my mom. What began as a way to cope has grown into a lifelong commitment to staying healthy, honoring her memory, and pushing myself through goals like participating in the World Marathon Majors. Running has become both my therapy and my purpose.

I chose to run on behalf of this organization to also honor my late father-in-law, who passed away from a heart attack in 2014. Since his passing, my family and I have continued to walk and raise funds in his name. Supporting this cause allows me to turn personal loss into meaningful impact while helping advance awareness, research, and hope for others. 

Thank you for supporting American Heart Association. Any monetary contribution, no matter the amount, will help support this meaningful cause.
