Hi friends!

I’m excited to be running the 2025 Chicago Marathon with the Aspire Dream Team, supporting an amazing organization that empowers people with developmental disabilities to live fully and independently. Aspire has been close to my heart since I started volunteering there back in high school in 2011. Since then, I’ve stayed involved through their Associate Board, helping to run awesome events like Sunday Funday and other fundraisers.

This will be my 8th marathon and part of my mission to complete all six World Marathon Majors (five down, Tokyo to go!). I’ve been fortunate to run for incredible causes along the way—from the American Red Cross and American Cancer Society to the MS Society and more. Running for Aspire this year brings it full circle.

Even better—I’ll be running alongside my younger brother, Mike, who’s also part of the Aspire Dream Team. We’ve been training together for five months, and I’m so excited to share this experience with him.

Thank you for supporting Aspire by donating to the Dream Team! All funds raised will benefit Aspire's mission of connecting people with disabilities to ever-greater possibilities for learning, jobs and safe places to call home.
