2026 Chicago Marathon

I am honored to be running the 2026 Chicago Marathon in support of Live Like Roo Foundation, an organization that provides financial assistance and emotional support to families navigating a dog’s cancer diagnosis. This cause is deeply personal to me. I know firsthand how devastating it is to lose a dog to cancer, and as a devoted dog mom to two senior pups — one with diabetes and one with mobility limitations — I also understand the financial and emotional weight that comes with caring for a dog with medical needs.

Dogs are not “just pets” — they are family, our comfort, our joy, and the heartbeats of our home. Live Like Roo helps families who feel the same way receive the support they need during their hardest moments.

By donating, you are helping ensure that no family has to face canine cancer alone. Every contribution, big or small, makes a tangible impact. Thank you for supporting my marathon journey and, more importantly, supporting dogs and the families who love them with their whole heart. 🐾❤️
