13.1 Miles to Help End ALS!

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

On Sunday, March 15, I will be running the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon as part of Team ALS TDI, raising funds for the ALS Therapy Development Institute!

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS - aka Lou Gehrigs Disease) has touched my family personally. I lost both my grandfather and my uncle to this devastating disease. While their stories are part of my past, the impact of ALS is very much present for so many families today. Running this race is my way of honoring them and doing something tangible to help move research forward.

I chose to fundraise for ALS TDI because of their strong reputation, transparency, and focus on accelerating treatments. ALS TDI has earned Charity Navigator’s highest four-star rating, giving me confidence that donations are managed responsibly and directed toward meaningful research.

I will be running all 13.1 miles with the hope that each step helps bring us closer to ending ALS. If you are able, I would be incredibly grateful for your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this page.

Thank you for being part of this effort and for helping fuel the research that truly makes a difference!
