I'm ready to run.

I'm running the NYC Marathon in November to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. I am coming out of marathon retirement and challenging myself to run the NYC marathon to support the Parkinson’s Foundation. This marathon will not be like the others I have ran in the past; it will have incredible meaning and a personal mission. This disease and raising funds for research around it has become a singular focus of mine when a dear loved one was just diagnosed in December. Her movement and quality of life has been greatly impacted in just a short amount of time. I will be raising as much money as possible and running every last inch of those 26.2 miles for my her.

100% of proceeds go to The Parkinson's Foundation, which 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 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... my mother and I thank you for your support!
