$150 towards $2,100

Last year, I ran the NYC Marathon in memory of a childhood friend who passed away from a brain tumor. It's wild to say that race day was one of the best days of my life, but it's true. Training for and completing the marathon was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had, and it was made even more special by the meaning behind my miles (supporting brain tumor research and patient advocacy) and the impact, the pride, and the community support I felt.
I'm so excited for the opportunity continue supporting the brain tumor community through my commitment to the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation (CBTF) for the 2025 Chicago Marathon!

I would love and appreciate your support on any front (training, fundraising, holding me accountable to my plan, carb loading in solidarity, etc.!). I'm always grateful for your generosity. Thank you! I love you!

Some context on CBTF:
For over a decade, CBTF has been a national leader in providing programs for families affected by brain tumors. Over the last 35 years, the organization has transformed from a local New York organization that offered families access to information and peer support into a national entity that delivers unique programs to support families throughout their brain tumor journey. As the founders of the Children’s Brain Tumor Network, CBTF believes that collaboration is crucial in the pursuit of a cure and in addressing the often devastating long-term effects of brain tumor treatment.
