Hi everyone!

I will be running the Chicago Marathon this year on October 13th, 2019.  This will be my 3rd marathon of 2019 but the first time that I am running as part of a charity team.  I'm joining with Team Lemon to help Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation move one step closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer.  The money you donate will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer.  I am excited for this training cycle and every run will be more meaningful knowing that I am raising money for cancer research.  Working as a research pharmacist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, I see firsthand how important research and drug development is in finding new treatments but this is only made possible by funding.  However, less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer treatment goes to childhood cancer, making donations that much more impactful.  All donations are greatly appreciated and anything helps!  Thank you for your continued support :)
