I’m running the 2026 Chicago Marathon for Team Chicago Run because I believe every young person deserves the chance to move, grow, and thrive. After volunteering hundreds of hours as a youth basketball coach, I’ve seen how impactful physical activity can be in building confidence, resilience, and emotional strength in ways that stay with kids for life. And as someone who was very active growing up, I know firsthand how much those experiences shaped my own childhood.

Chicago Run makes that same opportunity possible for thousands of kids across Chicago, giving them equitable access to inclusive running and physical activity programs that support their physical and mental well-being. I’m proud to run for a cause that reflects what I care most about: helping young people build healthier, happier futures.
