Running the Marine Corps Marathon for UBPN

This October, I’ll be running the Marine Corps Marathon and raising money for the United Brachial Plexus Network (UBPN). I was born with a brachial plexus injury during a difficult delivery, which left me with only one functioning arm.

I’ve lived with it my whole life, and while it’s had its challenges, I’ve found ways to adapt and keep doing the things I love—whether that’s sailing, cycling, or chasing my 6-year-old around. Training for a marathon is a new challenge for me, and it feels like the right time to take it on.

UBPN does incredible work connecting people with brachial plexus injuries, sharing resources, and building a community where people can learn from each other. If you’re able, I’d be grateful for your support.
