In October 2026, I’ll be running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon as part of Team ALS, raising funds for ALS United Greater Chicago. ALS is relentless. It steals strength, speech, and independence. But it can’t touch love, grit, or hope. That’s why I’m running—to fight back, to raise awareness, and to support the research and care for those in need.

This race isn’t just about miles—it’s about my dad, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2023.  My family is not alone, and I am running the race for my dad, and every other individual affected by this disease.

I hope to break the 3 hour mark in Chicago, and with every training step, am honored to have the ability to run for those who are unable.

My goal is to raise $2,500 by race day. Every dollar goes directly to ALS United Greater Chicago, helping fund care programs, advocacy, and research. Donations are tax-deductible and deeply appreciated.

If you’re able to support, thank you. If you can share this message, thank you. And if you’re walking your own journey with ALS—know that you’re not alone.
