On October 11, I’ll be running the 2026 Chicago Marathon and raising $3,000 in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

AFSP’s mission is incredibly important, supporting those affected by suicide, funding research, educating the public, and helping save lives.

Training for 26.2 miles has been a challenge, but having the opportunity to use the marathon to support such an important cause makes every mile worthwhile (and motivates me when I have felt like giving up!)

My goal is to raise $3,000, and any contribution (big or small) would mean a lot. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be hugely appreciated.

Thank you for the support, and I’ll see you at the finish line! ‍♂️
