I've been a part of the vibrant New York City running community for three years and have loved every minute of it. This year, I’m finally lacing up my HOKA shoes, grabbing my Maurten gels, and heading out to run my first-ever New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025! I’m excited to be running in support of Chai Lifeline, an organization that does truly life-changing work. I’m aiming to raise $7,500 to help Chai Lifeline continue supporting and empowering seriously ill children and their families.

I've chosen to run with Chai Lifeline because I believe in their mission and purpose. Tirelessly, throughout the year, they provide emotional, social, and financial support to over 6,000 children and their families with severe illness, loss, or trauma. Between counseling, case management, crisis and trauma intervention, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, insurance advocacy, i-Shine afterschool programming, Big Brothers and Sisters, or their medically-supervised Simcha summer camps—Chai Lifeline creates a community of support for families and loved ones.

Your support means so much to me and every donation amount brings me one step closer to the finish line (literally and figuratively I'd like to cross the finish line in fundraising and on race day)!

Thanks so much for visiting my page (and please join my Sunday long runs @ Central Park for mental and emotional support till November) :)
