—————

It doesn’t take having a loved one be diagnosed with ALS to understand the devastating ability of this disease, but if you’re like me, chances are you know someone personally who has been affected. 

On Sunday, March 19th, I'm combining my love of running and desire to enact change, and will run as part of Team ALS TDI for the United Airlines NYC Half.

The ALS Therapy Development Institute is an Official Charity Partner of the New York Road Runners. Your donations fuel their work to advance promising drugs to help end ALS, just as your emotional support (plus a few hundred gummies and a Beyoncé-filled playlist) will fuel my upcoming training season and race day. 

Thank you for making a difference. I’ll see you out on the course!
