On November 2nd, I’ll be running the New York City Marathon in honor of someone who meant the world to me: my Aunt Eileen.

Eileen was an incredible mother, daughter, sister, friend, and aunt, she lived her life with grace, boldness, and unstoppable energy. In the competitive world of fashion, she was a true powerhouse — known for her brilliance, style, and strength. But beyond her professional success, it was her compassion, warmth, and love for others that left a lasting impact.

Eileen’s life was cut short by cancer. In her memory, my grandparents created a foundation to help others in that same fight — The Eileen Fund, which supports research and breakthroughs in precision medicine to end cancer.

This run is for her. This run is for everyone who’s battled cancer. And this run is for a future where precision medicine saves more lives.

Help me make every mile matter. Your donation — no matter the size — will go directly to The Eileen Fund, advancing cutting-edge cancer research.

Donate today and share this page to help me honor Eileen’s legacy and bring hope to others. Learn more about the mission at theeileenfund.org.

Thank you for your support ❤️
