I joined the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s Team Challenge family in support of the millions of Americans living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Every mile I complete and dollar I raise will help support research, education, and support those suffering from IBD.
I am training to cross the finish line and need your support to help get me there. Together, we can go further, faster towards IBD cures.
In 2017, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, a chronic condition that affects the digestive system. It has been a tough journey, but I refuse to let it define me. Fast forward to today, I am gearing up to run a half marathon, something that I once thought would be impossible. This journey is proof that no matter the obstacles life throws your way, with determination, support, and a positive mindset, anything is possible. I want to inspire others facing their own battles, whether it is with Crohn's disease or any other challenges, to push forward and never give up on their dreams. If I can do it, so can you!
