2026 Chicago Marathon

I am incredibly honored and grateful to be running the 2026 Chicago Marathon with the Live Like Roo Foundation. It means so much to me to be able to support dogs that are bravely battling cancer and the families who love them. My own family experienced this heartbreak when we lost our beloved dog, Jake, after a long fight with cancer. That journey changed me. It deepened my compassion and strengthened my commitment to helping others facing similar battles. In my professional life, I work in healthcare in an oncology clinic, where I see firsthand the strength it takes to fight cancer. Being able to combine my passion for caring for others with my love for dogs is truly special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your encouragement and support — it truly makes a difference.
