This year, I'm running the NYC Marathon for Team "Tell Every Amazing Lady" in honor of my incredible mother, Vicki, who passed away from Ovarian Cancer. My mom introduced my family to TEAL and we have been proudly participating in their annual fundraising walk in Brooklyn for over 13 years. My mom was the most fearless, brilliant, strong, vibrant, courageous, benevolent, and empowering person I have ever known and she lived every single day to the fullest. I am incredibly grateful to not only be running this marathon for such an incredible charity like TEAL, but also to be doing it with one of my best friends and biggest supporters, Sarah. It has always been our dream to run the marathon together and we are so excited to be sprinting towards awareness of Ovarian Cancer, one mile at a time!
I am running the marathon not only to raise awareness about this disease- one that is often overlooked and undetected until it is too late- but also for my mother, whose life was tragically cut short because of it. Your donation will not only fuel our miles but also TEAL’s incredible mission of educating and supporting women everywhere about Ovarian Cancer. I’m running towards a cure, towards a world with no cancer and every single donation gets us closer and closer! Thank you for your support, it means the world to me <3
