I Run for Those Who Cannot...

On March 29, 2026, I will be running the Philadelphia Love Run Half Marathon in support of Philadelphia cancer patients and their families to alleviate financial strain during hardship. Each week, families across Philadelphia struggle to meet basic needs while supporting a loved one through cancer treatment. Through the Emergency Patient Support Network, created by Legacy of Hope in partnership with Philadelphia hospitals, financially vulnerable cancer patients are quickly identified and provided with critical emergency assistance during an already overwhelming time.

I am also running in honor of my grandfather, who lost his life to pancreatic cancer. His strength and resilience continue to inspire me everyday and fuel my commitment to running!

I am committed to training and racing with purpose, but I cannot do this alone. If you are able, I invite you to support my run. Every dollar makes a meaningful impact. Together, we can help ensure that cancer patients and their families in Philadelphia are supported when they need it most!
