As someone born and raised in Chicago, this city has always been home—and this year, I’m proud to run the Chicago Marathon for a cause that directly supports community.
This will be my second time running Chicago and my fourth marathon overall, and over the past three years, running has truly transformed my life. That’s why I’m using this race to give back. I’m running on behalf of Cornerstone Community Outreach, an organization dedicated to helping individuals and families experiencing homelessness find stability, support, and ultimately a permanent place to call home. Through shelter, meals, and personalized services, they empower people to rebuild their lives and regain independence.
Your support isn’t just helping me cross the finish line—it’s helping someone else take the first steps toward a new beginning.
