This November 2nd, I'll be lacing up my sneakers (haven't thought of which ones) and running the TCS New York City Marathon for the very first time and I couldn't be more excited (and I will say a whole lot nervous)! I'm honored to be running on behalf of Hackensack Meridian Health and in the proud support of Tackle Kids Cancer, in support of pediatric cancer research.  All money raised will benefit the Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health and will help their littlest patients become kids again!

Running 26.2 miles through the streets of New York City is not something I dreamed about but was a 2025 goal of mine as I thought about venturing into my running journey. So now I get to do it for a cause that truly matters the most to me. Every mile I run, every drop of sweat, every tear that I know will come down will be one step closer to the finish line and it will be fueled with your SUPPORT! More importantly, by the kids who inspire us to be courageous every single day.

Raising money to find a cure is a marathon – not a sprint!  My goal is to raise $5,000 and with your help, I know we can reach and hopefully exceed that goal! Whether it's $10 or $500, every single donation matters and brings us one step closer to a world where no child has to face cancer. If you can't donate right now, that's okay, share my page and cheer me on from afar means just as much! 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my run!  Together we can make a bigger impact in this fight against pediatric cancer.

See you at the finish line friends... and

Remember…together WE CAN Tackle Kids Cancer!
