This year, I'm running the Chicago Marathon in support of One Step, a charity dedicated to providing resources and support to youth diagnosed with cancer. This cause is deeply personal to me- this past December, I lost my dad after his 6 month battle with cancer. His strength, humor and resilience continue to inspire me, and I want to honor his memory by making a difference for kids facing the same battle he did. 

Team One Step supports Camp One Step by Children's Oncology Services, an organization that operates camps and other recreational and educational experiences for children who have been diagnosed with cancer.  Camp One Step Programs aim to cure the spirit by providing an environment of hope.

Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and supports youth impacted by cancer. 

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

I hope you will consider supporting my journey as I raise funds to support children diagnosed with cancer. Your support means the world to me!
