I’m excited to be running with Team Fired Up  for the Dopey Challenge! Having been part of this team before, I know firsthand how powerful it is to bring together a community of runners who are passionate about making a difference.

Running has always been a meaningful part of my life, and as a healthcare provider, giving back is especially important to me. I’ve seen the impact that access to care, education, research, and support can have on patients and their families. I’ve also experienced that need personally through my dad’s fight with cholangiocarcinoma.

I’m coming back to Team Fired Up because there is still more work to do. I’m grateful for the opportunity to use something I love—running—to raise awareness, support this cause, and help make a difference for others facing their own difficult journeys.

Four races. Four days. One team. And more miles to make an impact.
