Hello, and thank you for considering donating to my cause, the British Heart Foundation! When I was in high school my dad had his first heart attack. It was an extremely scary time for my family, and got even worse when he had his 2nd heart attack a few years later. It is a miracle that he has made it through 2 heart attacks before the age of 55 (!!), and I am confident that if it weren't for his amazing cardiac doctors and the care and research being done today, that he probably wouldn't be able to walk me down the aisle at my wedding this year. I've lost several other dearly loved family members to heart disease, and so this cause is extremely important to me.

Knowing that heart disease runs in my family, I made a conscious decision to kickstart my own healthy journey in 2017, and so began my love for running! Since then, I have run SIX full marathons (Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Berlin), as well as a handful of half marathons, and a half Ironman Triathlon. My personal goal is complete the 6 Abbott World Major Marathons, and London will be my 4th out of the 6 that I've completed--a HUGE milestone!! I can't think of a more motivating reason to run this marathon, and I'm so excited to be running for such a good cause! To help me get there, I kindly ask for your generosity and donations to help the British Heart foundation keep doing what they do best! THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart <3

The money I raise for the BHF will support groundbreaking science and support for people suffering from heart and circulatory conditions.
