On November 28th, my mom and I will be racing in a fitness event called HYROX (a mix of running and strength workouts) in Madrid, to raise awareness and money for glioblastoma research.

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people are diagnosed with it globally each year. One of our family members - whom we love so much - is fighting this disease, and we’d like to honor their strength, bravery, and compassion through our fundraiser.

It takes a lot to fight illnesses like glioblastoma - for the patient, but also for the doctors, nurses, and scientists working tirelessly night and day to battle it. We’d like to honor everyone’s hope, tenacity, and dedication.

If you’d like to help us raise money for research and patient care, you can donate to the Glioblastoma Foundation. Thank you for your support!

P.S. If you know our family, we kindly ask that you don’t post personal comments or details about us here — this fundraiser is meant to support everyone affected by glioblastoma. Thank you for helping us keep the focus on hope and progress.
