My journey began in 1999 when I decided to challenge myself by running the Chicago Marathon one week before my 30th birthday. Little did I know then that 25 years later I would be traveling the world to run and fundraise for charity. Each race I complete has greater meaning when it becomes about something bigger than running. As a veterinarian, I have devoted my 30 year career to protecting animals, providing care, and finding a voice for those who could not advocate for themselves. I am constantly trying to make a difference in the lives of pets in our community. I'm inspired by the work of the MSPCA-Angell and have developed a huge respect for the work they do and the services that they offer to my clients. I will be running the Tokyo Marathon on March 1, 2026 representing MSPCA-Angell. The best way to help them is by raising money. Please help me help them by donating whatever you can.

The more people that know about the MSPCA-Angell, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
