Hello! I will be running the 2021 Chicago Marathon for Girls on the Run in hopes to inspire young runners to keep going and dream big. I've had a love for running since I was four years old... chasing my dad on the track in a sundress as he himself was training for a big race. My love for running was definitely ignited by my parents who ran competitively since high school and both ran the Chicago marathon. I took my talents and dreams of collegiate running and made them real by choosing to be a student-athlete at DePaul University running cross country and track for them throughout college. I have volunteered alongside my teammates for the Chicago marathon all my years at DePaul and have had the honor to cheer on former teammates who also competed in the marathon post graduation. I would love to carry on that tradition running alongside two of my former teammates Margaret Hastings and Courtney Pickering. Any amount helps! Thank you for making your donation to Girls on the Run-Chicago and for supporting my fundraising efforts!
