This November, I am taking on the 26.2 miles of the NYC Marathon to support Tina’s Wish and the fight against ovarian cancer.

This cause is deeply personal to me. My connection to this mission comes through my Aunt, whose mentor was Tina Brozman—the incredible woman whose legacy continues through the work of this foundation. Hearing of the impact Tina had on those I care about, and knowing how many women are affected by this disease, I am driven to help change the future of ovarian cancer detection.

I’m running for the women in my life and for a future where early detection is a reality for everyone. Any contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward groundbreaking research and brings us one step closer to a cure.
