Hi everyone! I am so excited to be supporting Team Gilda while running the Chicago Marathon in October! As many of you know, I began my running journey in September of 2024 and have already completed the Every Woman's Marathon(November 2025) and the Miami Marathon(January 2026), as well as several half marathons. It is my honor to now be running the Chicago Marathon(a world major marathon!) on behalf of Team Gilda. Named in honor of the legendary comedian Gilda Radner, this incredible organization ensures that no one has to face cancer alone. They provide essential psychosocial services—including support groups, individual counseling, healthy lifestyle workshops, and social activities—completely free of charge to patients, survivors, caregivers, and families of all backgrounds. I am deeply honored to run for a community that delivers over 250 free monthly activities to uplift and strengthen those navigating a cancer diagnosis. Every dollar you donate directly funds these critical emotional and social support programs, turning every mile I run into real, actionable hope. No donation is too small to make a huge impact. I truly appreciate your support and can't wait to share my training journey as well as the big day in Chicago on October 11th!
