I am excited for the opportunity to be a part of the New York City Marathon on behalf of the Montefiore Einstein Cardiac Wellness Program. I am fundraising to bring a unique, nutrition-centered approach to cardiovascular disease management by attempting to prevent and reverse heart disease with dietary change.

I was born with a congenital heart condition, which has given me a personal understanding of how important it is to receive proper care when living with these conditions. Montefiore Einstein's Cardiac Wellness Program offers incredible support to New York residents, helping those who need it most access the medical attention they deserve.

Running has been a large part of my life since I was a teenager, and being able to continue this passion to improve others lives who are dealing with similar health issues to mine is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

If you are able to support my fundraising journey, any donation would be greatly appreciated.
