Story

I am excited to be running my first Marathon as part of the Champion for CHAM and Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation marathon team. My brother in law was diagnosed with Cancer when he was 18 years old and when he beat Cancer, he started the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation. The Foundation has helped me and my family personally when my father-in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer. The foundation has raised more than 18 million dollars to support families battling pediatric cancer.

I am extremely excited to challenge myself while raising awareness and funds for these great foundations. Every donation makes a difference! Thank you so much for helping me reach my goal!

The Rizzo Foundation and CHAM has chosen to partner together, because together, they are able to have a larger and more significant impact on these families. This team of palliative care experts are trained to help families navigate medical decisions and offer support as they face the uncertainty of life-threatening and fatal illnesses.

Dollars donated through this page will go to support CHAM's Quality in Life Team at Montefiore Hospital.

Please join me in making a difference for these families by donating today.
