Hello! I started running at the end of 2023 as a personal challenge for myself. I ended up running two half marathons in 2024 and decided I wanted to challenge myself even further by running a marathon! I am running with the American Heart Association in honor of my dad. He passed away when I was 9 from a heart attack. I'll be running the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon in his honor. Thank you for considering donating!
