Marathon Fundraiser for Gun Violence Prevention

This year, I am running the Chicago Marathon. My goal is to raise $5,000 for March For Our Lives, a nonprofit organization that advocates for gun control. I admire their mission and want to support them as they continue to advocate for passionate, action-oriented policy changes.

You can read about their goals and policy platform here: https://marchforourlives.com/demands/

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to March For Our Lives.

The issue of gun violence has been highly prevalent to me in 2022. My city of Columbus, OH has experienced many high-profile shootings this year. Many of my closest friends grew up in and around Highland Park, IL - the site of the horrific July 4th mass shooting and about a 45-minute drive from the marathon starting line. I am very grateful that some of those friends will be there to cheer me on at the marathon.

I am very bothered when I read about the senseless killings in our country, and I do not want future generations to continue dealing with this problem.

All donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
