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 deep personal significance for me, as I recently experienced the sudden loss of a loved one due to a heart-related condition. That loss has fueled my passion for raising awareness around heart health and the importance of early detection.

Myocarditis is a rare and often misunderstood disease that affects thousands of adults and children worldwide each year. The Myocarditis Foundation provides critical resources and support for those impacted, and I am honored to run in support of their mission.

I have set a fundraising goal of $3,000 to be reached by race day on November 2nd. Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward supporting the Myocarditis Foundation’s vital work.

Thank you for your support.
