I am running the NYC Marathon on November 3, 2024, and fundraising for CHILDRENS BRAIN TUMOR PROJECT FOUNDATION in memory of Sophie Krupp. Sophie was a close friend and classmate of my children and the daughter of our dear friends. Our family is heartbroken.

The Children’s Brain Tumor Project Foundation whose mission is dedicated to improving the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outlook for children and families affected by a brain or spinal cord tumor.

Sophie’s Story

In January, Sophie died peacefully in her sleep from an exceptionally rare, undiagnosed 'silent' SEGA brain tumor. With a keen intellect, boundless curiosity, and a ready smile, Sophie was respected and loved at Speyer School. She was well known in her school community as a Chess Mentor, a volunteer in the Lower School classrooms, a Student Ambassador for admissions, and, more recently, as a participant in the Best Buddy program with partner schools. Her loss is felt so strongly by all. Sophie made a difference in this world every day.

My hope is that everyone who reads this will show their support for Sophie and her parents by donating. Each donation (no matter how big or small) will help Sophie continue to make a difference in this world. Thank you for your support.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for CBTF!
