I am so excited to be running my first marathon with Team Run Chicago!
I’ve been an athlete my whole life - playing soccer and running have been a huge part of my life since childhood. Sports were valuable for me growing up as they helped me develop confidence and interpersonal skills, understand what it means to be on a team, and gave me lifelong friendships. For my first marathon, I wanted to support youth in our community with the opportunity for similar experiences. Additionally, my work and studies in nursing have taught me so much about how being active and moving your body contributes to a healthy lifestyle, increased confidence, and improved mental health.
Please help me support Chicago Run by making a contribution to my 2026 Chicago Marathon fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Chicago Run's great cause!
