Dear Friends and Family,

This October, I’ll be taking on one of the biggest challenges on my bucket list: running the Chicago Marathon!

For years, I’ve dreamed of running a marathon, and on October 11th, I’ll finally make that dream a reality. Along the way, I’m proud to be raising funds for Running USA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, educating, & growing the running community across the country.

Running USA works to strengthen the sport by bringing together runners, race directors, sponsors, volunteers, and industry professionals to help create better events and opportunities for athletes of all levels. Their work helps ensure that running continues to thrive and remain accessible to people everywhere.

As part of my marathon journey, I have committed to raising $3,500, and I’m asking for your support. Whether it’s $5, $25, $50, or any amount you’re comfortable giving, every contribution brings me one step closer to both my fundraising goal and the finish line in Chicago.

Training for this marathon will be challenging. But knowing that I have the encouragement and support of friends and family will make every mile more meaningful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for considering a donation. I truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to share updates throughout my training and on race day.

Let’s do this!
