Running has been a huge part of my life since 2019, when I ran my very first half marathon at the Las Vegas Rock ’n’ Roll. Since then, I’ve found community through running, specifically with Too Legit Fitness in San Jose where I’ve had the chance to help encourage others to start running, stay active, and believe in what their bodies are capable of.

I’m honored to be running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon with Team for Kids. The NYC Marathon is one of the first marathons I ever witnessed in person, and it left a lasting impression on me. The energy of the crowds, the support, and the pure love for the sport felt exactly like how running makes me feel. Being able to run it now feels incredibly full circle.

Team for Kids provides free youth and community programs for all ages and abilities that remove barriers to exercise and build community, camaraderie, and healthy lifestyles. Your support directly helps empower young people and strengthens communities through the sport that has given me so much.

Thank you for supporting my journey to the NYC Marathon and for helping make running accessible, inclusive, and life-changing for the next generation. Every donation, share, and word of encouragement means more than you know.

For every donation, I will offer to bake/cook something for you :)* I will reach out to you for info after you donate. Thank you!!

*for those in the Bay Area or I can mail something nonperishable if outside
