Story

I am thrilled to be running the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon in support of Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), and the Penny Doerge Adaptive Academy. Every step I take is dedicated to helping people move better, live pain-free, and work to find a cure for Neurofibromatosis. Penny was my childhood best friend and I am going to carry her light with me for every single mile.

This cause is deeply personal to me, and I invite you to be part of my journey. Your support—whether through a donation or by cheering me on—fuels the critical work of HSS, ensuring that more people receive the life-changing care they need. Together, we can make a lasting impact. For every $50 donated, I'll add a temporary butterfly tattoo—Penny's butterfly—to wear during the marathon. Please consider donating today and helping me cross both the finish line with as many butterflies as possible! Thank you for believing in this mission and in me!
