2026 Chicago Marathon

Our dog, Hurley, was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2017 and bravely fought for a full year. Thanks to the incredible support of our friends, family, and Live Like Roo, we were able to focus entirely on loving him through every moment without the added stress of chemotherapy bills.

Now, I have the chance to give back to the organization that supported us when we needed it most and to help other families navigating the same difficult journey. Please consider donating—any amount truly makes a difference and directly supports pets and their people during an unimaginably hard time.

I’ll be sharing updates throughout the year as I train for my first Chicago Marathon, carrying Hurley’s strength and spirit with me every step of the way.
