Hi! I'm running the 2024 Chicago Marathon with Team Esperanza alongside my husband, Jaime. We're not just running 26.2 miles for the challenge—we're running to make a difference. Our goal? To raise funds for Esperanza Health Centers, ensuring low-income families in Chicago access affordable, high-quality healthcare.

As many of you know, I have battled an autoimmune disease and experienced firsthand the difference that quality medical care can make. Unfortunately, thousands on Chicago's Southwest side lack such access. Esperanza Health Centers believe that high-quality healthcare is a right, not a privilege, accessible to everyone—regardless of income, health insurance, or immigration status.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide primary care, behavioral health, and wellness services to those who need it most. Please consider supporting our marathon run with a donation.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering supporting our cause. Your help is not just appreciated—it's vital!!
