I'm ready to run my first marathon! 

I'm running to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. I'm challenging myself to run the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon to support the Parkinson’s Foundation, my mother, and all others who have been affected by Parkinson's disease. 

My mother was diagnosed in 2019 with Parkinson's disease. To know my mother is to love her, she's truly my hero. With that being said I would do anything to support her even if that means willingly running 26.2 miles. The Parkinson's Foundation makes life better for people living with Parkinson's disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Studies show that 2.5 hours of weekly exercise along with medication, can significantly improve the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's. We run and will continue to run for people with Parkinson's because this disease is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. Every dollar counts, thank you for your support! Please feel free to message me or reach out with any questions! #WeFightForShelly
