I’m running on Team Tell Every Amazing Lady® in honor of my mom and grandmother, both of whom I lost to cancer, and to help raise awareness for women’s health, especially ovarian cancer. My goal for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon is to complete it strong, with purpose, and to use the journey to support this mission and inspire others. Fundraising will allow more support for a charity that is already doing so much for women and I hope to promote that in the process.

What I love most about running is the mental strength it builds and how it reminds me what I’m capable of, especially on hard days. If I could change one thing about ovarian cancer, it would be earlier detection and awareness, so more women have a fighting chance. My message to every amazing lady is to listen to your body, advocate for your health, and know that you’re worth being heard.
