Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share something exciting — I’m running the 2025 Chicago Marathon this fall! ‍♂️ It’ll be my first major marathon and third overall, so I guess I'm a runner now! I’m running with a purpose: to support Back on My Feet, a nonprofit that empowers people to break free from the cycles of poverty, homelessness, and/or addiction through the power of fitness, community support, and employment resources.

About Back on My Feet

I’ve committed to raising $2,500, and I’d be so grateful for your help. Every donation — big or small — will help this incredible organization continue their work.

To give you an idea of the impact your donation could have:

- $50 could help a member reclaim critical documents (like a license or birth certificate) needed for employment.

- $100 could provide a member with 4-6 hours of career coaching.

- $250 could ensure a member has safe and reliable transit to and from work.

Thank you for always being in my corner. Your support means everything — and I promise to make you proud out there on race day (even if my legs stop cooperating around mile 20 ).
