I'm incredibly excited to share that I’ll be running the 129th Boston Marathon—my second marathon and my first time participating in this iconic race.

This year, I’m running with purpose. I’ve chosen to run in support of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), a cause that’s very close to my heart. A family member of mine has been diagnosed with CLL, one of the four main types of leukemia—alongside Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). While their condition is currently stabilized, I’m committed to raising awareness and funds for continued research, innovative therapies, and ultimately, finding a cure.

Beyond the cause, I’m also running to challenge myself and to inspire others to pursue their dreams—no matter how daunting they may seem. Sports have always been a big part of my life. I played soccer at Suffolk University and also had the incredible opportunity to compete in Madrid, Spain. I was given the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon with the support of my sponsorship with Bank of America.

Running the Boston Marathon is a dream come true, and I would be so grateful for your support—whether it’s a donation, words of encouragement, or simply cheering along the course. Every step I take is for those affected by leukemia and for anyone chasing a goal bigger than themselves.

Thank you for helping me get to the finish line—together, we can make a difference.
