My Story

When my sister Nicole was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at just 10 years old, our family's world changed forever. Watching her grow up while navigating the realities of a chronic illness taught me what true strength looks like — courage, resilience, and an unwavering refusal to give up.

In April 2026, I’ll be lacing up my running shoes for the London Marathon — not simply to complete 26.2 miles, but to do it for her, and for the millions of people around the world living with MS.

Every mile represents hope. Every donation brings us one step closer to better treatments, greater support, and ultimately, a future without MS.

Miles of Experience: From Boston to New York and beyond, each race I've run has built toward this moment. The London Marathon will be my most meaningful finish yet — because this time, I’m running with purpose.
