I'm running in the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon to support Jhpiego's mission through their Miles for Mothers program. With each step and each dollar raised, I'm supporting their critical work in saving lives in low- and middle-income countries- where care can be rare and difficult to access.

As Melinda Gates says, “As women gain rights, families flourish, and so do societies. That connection is built on a simple truth: Whenever you include a group that's been excluded, you benefit everyone. And when you're working globally to include women and girls, who are half of every population, you're working to benefit all members of every community. Gender equity lifts everyone. Women's rights and society's health and wealth rise together.”

As I run this course, I will be reminded of the generosity of each of my friends, family, and colleagues who have supported my efforts. Thank you for supporting me!

Love you all.
