My Story…

This November, I am taking on 26.2 miles at the Philadelphia Marathon, but I’m not running alone. I am running every single mile in memory of my sweet boy, Boomer, who we heartbreakingly lost to spleen cancer back in 2024.

To fight back, I have joined the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) charity team, proudly running with "Team Philly Fight Club." My goal is to raise $750 to fund the science that will eventually wipe out cancer for both humans and the pets we love.

Every single dollar makes a difference. Here is how we can hit $750 together:

The $26.20 Marathon Club: Donate $1 for every mile I run.

The Power of Small Gifts: Literally every dollar counts. Whether it’s $1, $5, or $10, it all adds up incredibly fast to push me toward the finish line.

The Share: If you can't donate right now, hitting "Share" helps me reach others who can.100% of these funds go directly to lifesaving research so fewer families have to say the painful goodbye that I had to say to Boomer. I want to turn my grief into purpose, and I would be incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank you all so much for your kindness, your support, and for helping me honor Boomer’s memory. I appreciate every single one of you more than words can say. 🙏❤️

Let’s fight cancer together. For Boomer. 🐾💪
