I am thrilled to announce that I will be running in the 2025 New York City Marathon on behalf of the Myocarditis Foundation. This foundation holds a special place in my heart, as my best friend, Jordan Isaacs, was diagnosed with this rare disease in early 2022. Having witnessed him compete in multiple triathlons with this disease, I am committed to raising awareness for the foundation while training to run 26.2 miles!

Myocarditis is a rare disease that affects thousands of adults and children globally each year. The Myocarditis Foundation, established to provide resources for those affected, is a cause I am truly passionate about supporting.

I have set a fundraising goal of $5,000 to be reached by race day on November 2nd. Any donations are greatly appreciated and will directly support the Myocarditis Foundation.
