I am a coach and personal trainer from New York City, and I was born with a heart defect called Transposition of the Great Arteries. This condition makes certain physical feats more challenging for me, but I have never allowed it to stop me from pursuing the things I love. Throughout my life, I have played sports, and more recently, I have taken up running. Each new goal I set pushes me further, and now I am preparing to take on an ultra marathon.

This race is more than just a personal challenge—it's an opportunity to raise awareness for both the charity I am supporting and the importance of mental health. Living with a medical condition has taught me that our limitations do not define us, and I hope to be an example for others facing their own challenges. By sharing my journey, I want to show that with determination and support, we can achieve more than we ever thought possible.

My goal is to raise funds to help cover the costs of this race, including lodging, camping gear, running gear, food, gas, and other essentials. 80% of all money raised will go toward these expenses, while 20% will be donated directly to charity. Anything raised above my goal will also be donated to the charity. If you'd like to support my journey, the miles, and a good cause, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you for being a part of this and helping me make a difference.
