Welcome to my fundraising page! I’m taking on the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon with Fred’s Team, the official running program of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). I'm honored to be a part of this incredible team and I'll be running in memory of beloved MeMe (Grandma) who passed away from Kidney Cancer in 2015.
MeMe was a gift to all of us and had the ability to light up every room she entered, making everyone feel special. MeMe gave my siblings and me the most wonderful childhood and memories to remember her by. Some of my favorites include swimming in her pool at night, being wrapped in a hot towel straight from the dryer, sleepovers, birthday cards and eating gallons of chocolate ice cream under the porch watching the stars. I could go on and on about how special my grandmother was and how deeply I miss her. If there was one thing about my grandmother, it was how deeply she loved to support her eight grandchildren and show up for events. She was so proud of us and now I have the chance to run in her memory.
I have been a runner since my early childhood and one of my biggest running goals is to run this race. I was supposed to run the marathon last year with Fred's Team but due to a stress fracture, I was unable to but because of everyone's donations I was able to defer and secure my spot for this year and words cannot describe how grateful I am to have the chance to run with a team that means so much to me. This race is for MeMe and for me.
