Please support my fundraising efforts for the 2023 UNITED AIRLINES NYC HALF FUNDRAISING. No donation is too small. Please click on the donate button! I became involved with T.E.A.L when my best friend’s mom passed away in 2022 to ovarian cancer after fighting for 8 years. I considered her my aunt not because we are related but because she was like a second mom to me. She was one of those truly special individuals. Every person that had her in their life was blessed to have known her and we were all so lucky to have her fight for those extra years. We will all miss her very much! I have several goals for the NYC Half Marathon. First, raise as much money as possible for ovarian cancer research. Second, promote a ton of awareness on social media. Third, support my best friend in his training after these tough last few months. Lastly, finish the race with a sub 10min mile pace. What I love most about running. It’s your own time and space to have an inner thought process and conversation with yourself. In addition, I love to take in the surroundings whether its the NYC skyline or just the foliage on trees in the suburbs. If I had to make a difference related to ovarian cancer it would be helping promote awareness which supports early detection and further raises money towards research. The message I would like to send to the amazing lady. Aunt Marypat, we all love you so much. You raised one incredible family and we know you’re looking down over us in heaven. Lastly one thing I'd like everyone to know. Aunt Marypat made easily the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet.
