I'm ready to run.

I'm running to raise funds and awareness with the Parkinson's Champions. I'm challenging myself to run the Big Sur International Marathon in April 2025 along the coast of Monterey, California to support the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Big Sur is my dream marathon. When I discovered the opportunity to apply for the Parkinson's Champion team to run Big Sur, I knew it was the best way to make a difference while pursuing my love for running. As some of you know, my husband, Jeremy, was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's Disease just a few years ago. Although his diagnosis was devastating for us, we remain optimistic about the development of better treatments and hopeful for a possible cure someday. By supporting the Parkinson’s Foundation, I hope to contribute to advancing much-needed research for this disease.

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!
