Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Oriana!

half oriana

I heard of the race through social media and I knew that I wanted an organization that supported ovarian cancer in support of my grandmother Susan Weller, and when I saw T.E.A.L.® with the name and everything it stood for, it just simply struck a chord with me. I knew this was a foundation I wanted to be a part of for not just this race, but for its community. 

I have been wanting to run this race for a very long time and I have a lot of drive and determination to focus on training. My goal is to do the race to the best of my ability and spread awareness for ovarian cancer and T.E.A.L.® with everything I have to offer.

Simply, I love the feeling of running. When I first started running it was during the summer as a camp counselor during their Race for the Arts. I had heard of the race before but never participated so I chose to do so to promote and show my support to my camp along with my campers. The first time I did it I had no idea that I had the ability to do something like that and having the amount of love and support that I had felt just that much greater. Now with this race I know the feeling is going to be greater than ever. I feel accomplished with everything I have been preparing for and hope it all follows through as planned.

If I could send a message to one amazing lady, I would tell my grandmother how much I loved and cared for her and that I hope she sees what I’m doing to continue her legacy. I just know that if she knew I was doing this race she’d be doing it right alongside me and that’s what I’m going to be thinking about while doing it. Also, to every amazing lady, participating in this race or not, I want to do you all proud.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Maya!

TEAL_UnitedAirlinesNYCHalf_Maya_2023

Three of my friends – Nika, James, and Henry – are also running the United Airlines NYC Half and they encouraged me to run with them and T.E.A.L.®. I am so happy to be running for such a wonderful organization!

Prior to training for the United Airlines NYC Half, I was never a long distance runner but always wanted to try. I was always active but haven’t had an athletic goal in a while. Running the half seemed like the perfect way to try long distance running, work towards an athletic goal and make a charitable impact.  My goal is to finish the race with my friends and feel that I did my best!

I train with my best friend. I love seeing the progress we have been making.  I couldn’t run more than 4 miles this time last year. Now we finish an 8-mile run and it feels amazing. Just being able to share such a cool experience and getting so much stronger with a friend has been amazing.

If I had the power to change one thing related to ovarian cancer, I would want to spread more awareness about the disease itself. I think that there is not enough education about the signs and symptoms of ovarian and other cancers that are incredibly important to know. I wish women all had access to comprehensive medical care so that cases could be detected sooner (and this extends beyond ovarian cancer as well).

I hope that these fundraising efforts help at least one person. If even one woman can be helped from the money we raised during this half – whether this means early detection, help with medical care or finding a cure – it will be worth every mile.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Sydney!

TEAL_UnitedAirlinesNYCHalf_Sydney_2023

When exploring the charity partners of the United Airlines NYC Half, I was excited to see T.E.A.L.® listed and honored by the opportunity to run with the team. Ovarian cancer awareness and research is near and dear to my heart after losing a loved one to ovarian cancer a few years ago. Her motto both in her battle with cancer and in living her life was “choose joy,” so I run in celebration of this life I’ve been given.

It brings me great joy to have the physical ability to do hard things, like distance running, and even more joy to be able to do this in memory of someone I love.

Raising awareness about early detection, especially listening to your body, is so important. I’m grateful to play a small part in bringing some awareness about ovarian cancer by running and fundraising for T.E.A.L.®.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Solange!

unitedairlineshalf_solange_2023

I became involved with T.E.A.L.® six years ago after the passing of my mother due to ovarian cancer. At that moment I didn’t know that an ovarian cancer foundation was located in Brooklyn. I reached out immediately and embraced the message of hope and awareness which has become a message that I share with everyone. Attending meetings, volunteering and supporting T.E.A.L.® made me feel close to my mother’s memory.

This will be my second time running the United Airlines NYC Half for T.E.A.L.®.  It’s an honor to represent all those affected by this disease. Running for me can be a challenge at times, but I love running and for me it is a way of de-stressing and having fun!

I wish I had the POWER to end this disease and end the pain that this illness brings. I would like to tell all the AMAZING LADIES out there, that they are not alone in this battle, that we are here to support you, and to care for and love you every step of the way! 

This RUN is for my mother, I MISS YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY. I love you so much and I wish that I could embrace you one more time!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Sofia!

unitedairlineshalf_sofia_2023

I became involved with T.E.A.L.® when I ran the half marathon last year with them.

My goal for the United Airlines NYC Half is to finish in two hours and fifteen minutes.

What I love about running is that it is my ‘me’ time; I can just put music on and let my mind wander and just process.

If I had the power to make a difference or change in one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be to mandate awareness in high school health classes.

To every amazing lady: There is no way to compare peoples’ experiences with one another, however we can all make the conscious choice to support each other. Always send positive energy to everyone who needs a little sunshine in their day! #womensupportwomen

Come cheer us on March 19th!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Jason!

unitedairlineshalf_jason_2023
 

I became involved with T.E.A.L.® in 2016 shortly after the passing of my mother-in-law from ovarian cancer.

My goal in the United Airlines NYC Half is to support my wife who will be running with me; to raise awareness; and to generate support and attention around ovarian cancer and the efforts of T.E.A.L.®.

While I have always been an athlete, I have never been a ‘runner’ and this will be my first half marathon. That said, I have supported my wife through two half marathons and a full marathon and look forward to sharing this challenge with her.

If I had the power to make a in one thing related to ovarian cancer, I would promote greater attention to and knowledge around the importance of early detection.

To my mother-in-law: you are forever in our thoughts. We miss you and love you and will continue to do all that we can to honor your memory through fundraising efforts and our support of T.E.A.L.®

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Jolanta!

unitedairlineshalf_jolanta_2023
 

After gaining the strength back from being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2022, I wanted to give back and be a part of a community of individuals who have gone through a similar experience. I truly wanted to make a difference in some way! I researched charities and came across T.E.A.L.®. I was thrilled to see that they are one of the incredible fundraising partners for the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. Growing up in New York, I felt like this was meant to be and something I just had to be a part of to spread awareness.

My goal for the United Airlines NYC Half is not to be the fastest but to cross that finish line and be surrounded by the city’s energy and support from friends and family. This would be the greatest victory after an incredibly difficult year, to run with such a strong group.

Running is physically exhausting but mentally and emotionally recharging! It creates an opportunity to push myself and reflect on everything else going on.

If I had the power to make a difference regarding one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be to let women know to listen to your body and don’t ignore symptoms! Your gut feeling is usually correct – if it feels off it probably is. Make that doctor’s appointment!

To every amazing lady: Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.

Surround yourself with people who are going to lift you higher.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Lamisa!

unitedairlineshalf_lamisa_2023
 

I wanted to run for a charity that personally meant a lot to me. I had a family member who was affected with ovarian cancer and wished they had the resources we do now and were educated about the signs and symptoms for early detection. I came across T.E.A.L.® when looking for a fulfilling purpose to run the United Airlines NYC Half through New York Road Runners.

My goal is to finish the half marathon and raise $1,000 for T.E.A.L.®.

I love that running is so accessible. Almost anyone can do it and pick it up at some point in their lives. All they need is some good shoes and a road or trail. I was reading a book, Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, in which he states that humans are the only bipeds who are able to run for long periods of time. Although we may not be faster than other animals, we can run for the longest. That really inspired me to start running again because I wanted to see what my body was fully capable of endurance-wise. In a race like a marathon, I think it inspires so many people because while we are celebrating human bodies and fitness, we also come together to run for different personal causes which motivated us to run in the first place.

If I could change something related to ovarian cancer, It definitely would be to raise more awareness! According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancers with the highest mortality rates amongst women. There have been advancements in things like targeted therapy and chemotherapy to treat those affected. Early detection efforts increase when there is more awareness and early detection is key when treating ovarian cancer to reduce mortality rates. 

My message for every amazing lady would be to take care of yourselves. We may have busy lives and be told to ignore or brush aside some signs or symptoms but you know your body best. If there is something that arises that you think is a valid concern, please see a doctor or professional.

I just wanted to say that this is my first official half marathon and I am proud to be representing T.E.A.L.®!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Peter!

unitedairlineshalf_peter_2023
 

I learned about T.E.A.L.® from friends.

My charity goal for the United Airlines NYC Half is to raise $3k. I’m tying fundraising as incentive to achieve personal goal – getting back in shape, running it in 1 hour 45 minutes. I gave donors the power to influence my goal pace – the more they donate, I run at a faster pace.

I love that running is a personal challenge.

If I had the power to make a difference in one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be more widespread early detection best practices and technologies.

To every amazing lady fighting ovarian cancer: Continue being hopeful, we are making progress in this race against ovarian cancer every day. We are thinking about you in all we do.

My introduction to ovarian cancer came from a professional setting when I consulted for an oncology drug manufacturer in the OC space. Though a professional context, it was hard not to be touched personally by the stories and strength I heard from the OC fighters. And thus, it didn’t feel like any other work, it felt more critical. From seeing the progress from the treatment side, I became hopeful that OC fighters will continue to receive better care. There’s more to do, but know that there is an army of people working from all angles – prevention, screening, treatment – supporting you, making care better and better. So keep up hope, help is coming.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Michael!

UnitedAirlinesHalf_Michael_2023

One of my wife’s best friends is a longtime friend of Pamela (the CEO and co-founder of T.E.A.L.®).  We were introduced to Pamela at a T.E.A.L.® party in New York we both attended and got to know her and the cause of her foundation. From then, we attended local fundraisers and events in New York, and the Savannah T.E.A.L.® Walk to raise money.  

I am so excited to run this race again and in person! This year my goal is to break two hours with our T.E.A.L.® teammate and first-time half marathon runner Marc Lieberman!

I love running with friends and celebrating the accomplishment after crossing the finish line. Also, there is no better way to see a city than running on 13 miles of its streets. 

If I had the power to make a difference in one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be to raise awareness and provide resources to educate women about signs, symptoms and early detection.

To every amazing lady: Educate yourself about ovarian cancer, take the precautionary measures, and talk to your doctor.

I am very proud to be raising money for such a great cause!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Nika!

unitedairlineshalf_nika_2023

I became involved in T.E.A.L.® when one of my best friend’s moms passed away this year due to ovarian cancer. She was one of the most loved individuals and left such an impact on everyone who was lucky enough to know her. When I found out about T.E.A.L.®, it was the perfect way to honor her legacy and support all the other amazing ladies who have battled it.

My goal for the United Airlines NYC Half is to raise as much money as possible for ovarian cancer research and spread awareness of this amazing organization. I want to go out there with my best friends and make Mary Pat proud by running a fast race and having a blast while doing it!

My favorite thing about running is the “runners high” you get during it and the mental clarity it brings you. It is an amazing tool for reliving stress and anxiety. It also allows me to explore amazing places whether it be the streets of NYC or a different country!

If I had the power to change one thing related to ovarian cancer, I would love to provide better access and awareness to early detection procedures and develop a screening test specific to ovarian cancer.

The message I would like to send to Mary Pat is that she is so unbelievably loved and has left an amazing legacy. She has raised the most wonderful family and everyone is beyond lucky to have the rest of the Mulhollands in their lives. To all the other amazing ladies – you are absolute warriors and inspirations to each and every one of us!

Thank you!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Michelle!

unitedairlineshalf_michelle_2023
I learned of T.E.A.L.® from longtime supporter, Mr. Marshall, who hosts a yearly girl’s night out event and donates proceeds to T.E.A.L.®. Mr. Marshall is a big advocate of what Tell Every Amazing Lady® does. Additionally, Global Wellness (@glblwellness), arranged an interview with Pamela and I attended. Upon visiting the office and hearing more, I was excited about what T.E.A.L.® does as far as spreading awareness and supporting patients, survivors, and families.

My goal is to complete the Half Marathon. I currently run/jog/speedwalk a 15-minute mile. Completing 13 miles at that pace would bring me joy.

Running is not only good for my physical health, but it is calming and gives me an opportunity to run off my emotions. I also find it challenging as well as rewarding to meet my running goals.

If I had the power to make a change in one thing related to ovarian cancer, I would make genetic testing a mandatory test for every woman in the world and a covered test by all health insurances.

Please pay attention to your body for signs and symptoms, early detection saves lives, know your risk, and get the support you need.

I am delighted that T.E.A.L.® provides the necessary support for ovarian cancer patients and their families. I like that T.E.A.L.® is a community-based organization that gives that at-home feel, making each person who interacts with their company feel comfortable.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner James!

unitedairlineshalf_james_2023

My best friend’s mom passed away this past September to ovarian cancer after fighting for about eight years. I considered her my aunt not because we are related, but because she was like a second mom to me. She was one of those truly special individuals. Every person that had her in their life was blessed to have known her and we were all so lucky to have her fight for those extra years. We will all miss her very much!

I have several goals for the United Airlines NYC Half. First, raise as much money as possible for ovarian cancer research. Second, promote a ton of awareness on social media. Third, support my best friend in his training after these tough last few months. Lastly, finish the race with a sub 10-minute mile pace.
 
What I love about running is that it’s your own time and space to have an inner thought process and conversation with yourself. In addition, I love to take in the surroundings, whether its the NYC skyline or just the foliage on trees in the suburbs.

If I had the power to make a difference in one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be early detection, which corresponds in a way with raising awareness.

Aunt Marypat, we all love you so much. You raised one incredible family and we know you’re looking down over us in heaven.

One last thing that I would share with T.E.A.L.® readers is: Aunt Marypat made easily the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Henry!

unitedairlineshalfhalf_henry_2023

I had heard of T.E.A.L.® via social media and word of mouth, but it wasn’t until a conversation with my friend Danielle Stefania that I decided to get involved. We were having dinner one night shortly after the NYC 2022 Marathon and were inspired by all of the accomplished runners. Danielle, having recently lost her aunt to ovarian cancer, mentioned that we could run and fundraise for T.E.A.L.® in the upcoming United Airlines NYC Half. My mom had also recently passed away from her battle with ovarian cancer, so the idea of getting out there, raising money and spreading awareness for the disease felt like a no-brainer.

Besides crossing the finish line, my goal for the half marathon is to raise as much money as possible for T.E.A.L.® in order to provide support for those currently battling ovarian cancer, as well as survivors, caregivers, and the families of those affected. Having witnessed my own “Amazing Lady” battle ovarian cancer for as long as she did, I understand the hardships that many have gone through, are going through, and will go through. If I can make a positive difference in their lives, even in the smallest way possible, I’ll consider my efforts a great success.

I think what I love most about running isn’t really the act of running at all, but the mental challenge that it can provide. Running has never been my favorite activity, but I’ve always enjoyed the process of cultivating my mental strength in order to run farther and faster than I think I can. This race will certainly be the furthest distance I’ve covered in my humble running career, but I know that I’ll be able to reach the finish line with the support of both T.E.A.L.® as well as my friends and family. Additionally, the motivation to provide support and inspiration for those that need it the most, all while honoring my mom, will certainly push me to keep going.

If I had the power to make a difference in one thing related to ovarian cancer, it would be awareness. Too many women are often diagnosed with ovarian cancer when the disease is already in its advanced stages. Because it is still so difficult to diagnose, it is imperative that women are as aware, educated and proactive as they can be as early as possible. If we can make some noise about the signs, symptoms, and best resources for early detection, we can help to increase the survival rate of this deadly disease, and ultimately save lives.

This is not a battle you can fight alone. It is so important to lean on your family friends as a source of strength and courage.

I’d like everyone to know how hard my mom fought her battle with ovarian cancer. She never once complained and instead chose to face the disease with humility and grace. She is truly my hero, and I am honored to run this race for her.

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Tricia!

unitedairlineshalf_tricia_2023

I became interested in T.E.A.L.® when my dear friend Dena was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer in August of 2020. She was given a 20% chance of survival. She endured grueling chemo treatments and horrible side effects, but she preserved and is cancer free today. She is a true hero!

Running is something I’ve enjoyed for years. Besides just the cardio and fitness benefits, it gives me a chance to enjoy the fresh air and let my mind relax. I’ll think about my day or future plans or I’ll just pray as I run.

My goal for the half marathon is to have fun and hopefully finish in just under two hours.

If I could change anything relating to ovarian cancer it would be to a way to have early detection. If there was a simple test or scan that every woman could receive each year, so many lives could be saved. 

My message to all women is that you are amazing and so special. My friend, Dena is an inspiration and I’m so proud of her!!!!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Marc!

unitedairlineshalf_marc_2023

I became involved with T.E.A.L.® through my great friend and colleague Michael Ferraro. We were chatting about my newfound running hobby and he mentioned the United Airlines NYC Half and T.E.A.L.® charity and I was all-in. A great cause and new experience for me!

My goal is to be in the best running shape of my life and enjoy the whole experience. I have a 2-hour goal in mind but I’ll be most happy to complete my first half marathon, raise awareness for T.E.A.L.® and meet some great new people along the way.
 
I love how running “quiets” my head and often helps me think more clearly. It’s an activity that when completed, makes me feel better about my day and what was accomplished.

If I had the power to make a difference related to ovarian cancer, I would want to increase awareness, funding and research. And hopefully a cure is discovered as a result.  
Every amazing lady has the power to inspire others with their courage, positive attitude, and bravery.

I’m honored to be on the team!!!

Meet 2023 United Airlines NYC Half Runner Danielle!

unitedairlineshalf_danielle_2023

I became involved with T.E.A.L.® this past year. My Aunt Eileen had been fighting ovarian cancer for five years, until she passed away in October. Only then did I learn of how much comfort and support she received from T.E.A.L.® and the great work they were doing. I knew I had to help in any way I could to Tell Every Amazing Lady®!

My goal 2023 United Airlines NYC Half is to raise money for and awareness about ovarian cancer research and T.E.A.L.®, to give back and thank them for all they did for my Aunt Eileen.

To be honest, I’m not the biggest runner. However, I have come to love running as a celebration of what our bodies can do and the opportunity it provides to be outside with nature (especially in the city) for a while.

I wish there was more awareness around the symptoms and a better screening process for ovarian cancer. Many women are diagnosed too late because there’s no proper screening for ovarian cancer and symptoms can present themselves so similarly to G.I. issues that they are brushed under the rug.  

I’d like to tell all the amazing ladies who are battling/have battled ovarian cancer that we will keep fighting with them and for them – for better research, screening, awareness, and attention.

Please share these resources with everyone; every little bit counts!
