Running has become a huge part of my life, and this November I’ll be taking on my biggest running challenge yet—my first marathon at the Philadelphia Marathon. I wanted those 26.2 miles to mean more than simply crossing a finish line.

I’m proud to be running in support of Students Run Philly Style, an organization that uses running and mentorship to help young people in Philadelphia build confidence, set goals, and discover what they’re capable of. As someone who has experienced firsthand how much running can challenge you, change you, and give you confidence, this is a mission that really resonates with me.

My goal is to raise $750, and every donation—no matter the amount—gets me closer. If you’re able to donate or even share my fundraiser, I’d truly appreciate the support. I’ll handle the 26.2 miles. 🏃‍♂️

Thank you for being part of my first marathon journey and for supporting Philly’s young runners!
