Hi Everyone!

Thank you SO much for taking the time to check out my fundraising page! Since joining cross country (and track & field later on) back in 2005, I have found so much joy and stress relief in running. Before RA, I would often do charity runs or walks alone or with my friends in our to raise money for awesome causes. in 2015, I ran the NYC Marathon with Team for Kids and it felt amazing to be able to be able to fufill a lifelong dream as well as raise money for an awesome cause. After RA came into the picture, I was forced to shift my focus on my own healing journey and running took a back seat for the last few years.

I am happy to report that I am at a point where I can run again and would LOVE to run with Team Fired Up again! I first ran with them in 2019 (a little more than a year into my RA journey) and had such a blast during the 10k wine & dine race. I was able to raise a little more than $500. With your help, I am hoping to double that donation and raise at least $1,000 in time for the Princess 10k that will take place in February 2025!

The Dragon Master Foundation is a wonderful charity that serves cancer patients and their families by creating connections and providing financial assistance, information, and resources. Team Fired Up helps make Dragon Master Foundation’s goal to cure childhood cancer a reality. Their dedicated runners fundraise on the Foundation’s behalf to earn their registrations in runDisney races. It is through their commitment to both their races and pediatric cancer that Dragon Master Foundation is able to support research thTrough Cavatica, a large­-scale open access database, and help children travel to cities providing life saving treatments.
