My Story…

In June 2025, my Dad was diagnosed with Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma — an extremely rare cancer. Because of the size and location of the tumor, his leg couldn't be saved. This completely changed what running meant to me. This November 22, I'll be running the Philadelphia Marathon for the American Association for Cancer Research, for my dad and for others like him. Research is what makes it possible not just to survive a diagnosis like this, but to build a full and meaningful life after it — and that's what I'm running for. Help me make a difference by donating to my fundraiser by October 1, 2026. You'll be helping fund the research that could change everything for families like mine.
