When I first came to the United States, Girls on the Run, introduced me to running with support and coaching. Before that, I didn't think I was a runner, but being in a program where I could move my body and learn more about girlhood and community, is the reason why I have been running and even decided to sign up for the marathon. To have the opportunity to fundraise and run for this amazing cause that got me into running feels like a full circle moment - from running my first 5k with them to a marathon. Please support my fundraising efforts for the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. No donation is too small. Please click on the donate button!
