I Run for Those Who Cannot.

On March 30th, 2025 I am running the Philadelphia Love Half Marathon, and dedicating every mile to ensuring no cancer patients in Philadelphia, or their families, go hungry or lose their homes. 

I am running for my mom, who is fighting stage 4 genetic lung cancer that has spread to her brain and bones. Watching her endure this battle this past year has been difficult, but even through the pain, her strength, grace and determination never waver. She is the reason I'm pushing myself to run- because she's fighting with everything she has and I want to do everything in my power to honor that. It is hard to put into words what cancer takes from a family, but I know with your help, we can raise awareness, and bring hope to those still fighting each day. 

Each week families across Philadelphia with a loved one fighting cancer go hungry, and without the Emergency Patient Support Network, countless cancer patients in Philadelphia will continue facing hunger. Legacy of Hope created the Emergency Patient Support Network in partnership with Philadelphia hospitals to quickly identify financially disadvantaged Philadelphia cancer patients, and provide emergency support; preventing hunger and homelessness. 

I promise to train and race hard, but I need your support! If you are able to, please support me as I train and run in this race. Every dollar helps, and is appreciated!
