I am running the 2024 London Marathon for Brain Research UK! 

A little bit about me ...I am currently a second year medical student at The Ohio State University interested in becoming a neurologist! I started running marathons in 2018 when I completed the New York City Marathon with my brother in memory of my dad, who passed away the year prior. I have now completed 6 full marathons, and London will be #8 (I'll be running Portland, Oregon in October)! I continue to run in my dad's memory as he fueled my push towards medicine and marathoning. Running not only strengthens my connection with our global community, but it is the way I feel closest to my dad now. I plan to complete the Abbott World Marathon Majors, which is a collection of the largest and greatest marathons in the world. I've already checked off New York, Chicago, and Berlin. London's next, and then I'll eventually run Tokyo and Boston! By supporting me with Brain Research UK, you make a meaningful contribution in the international effort to advancing medical therapies for neurological conditions. This patient population in particular deals with a severe burden of chronic physical and mental health issues, with many neurological diseases still without promising therapies. I sincerely appreciate your support.

More about Brain Research UK ... It is the UKs leading national funder dedicated to research into neurological conditions. We fund vital research to increase understanding, improve diagnosis and treatment, and work towards the prevention of neurological conditions, to help people who suffer with them live better, longer. The funding is currently focused on three priority research areas: Brain tumors, Brain and spinal cord injury, and Headache and facial pain. These are areas where there is a large unmet patient need that is not reflected in current funding levels. By concentrating our efforts on these three areas, we can have a more significant impact.

Help me to make a difference - your support means that we can continue to fund life-changing research so that people living with neurological conditions can live better longer. Thank you!
