Hello family and friends,

As many of you know, I have been an avid runner for many years starting with my first 5k race way back in high school. The Chicago Marathon 2024 is a little different. I won’t just be running for myself. I am running for a cause raising money for the American Heart Association. Most of us know someone close to us who has been affected by heart disease and heart trauma. My dad has survived two open-heart surgeries and is alive today thanks to the innovative advances in cardiac medicine. Heart failure is real and more research is needed to help all of those affected. That is where the American Heart Association comes in! Their mission is to support research and in doing so it can result in helping so many!

My fundraising goal is $1750. I would be honored to have your support. Each donation will help motivate me to train for and cross that finish line. All the money raised will go to the charity (all race and travel fees will be paid by me).

Thank you for supporting me and the American Heart Association. Your contribution is greatly appreciated!
