Childhood Cancer Foundation (CHOC)

Personal Message:

Running for CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation) is deeply meaningful to me because it allows me to honor loved ones affected by cancer and loved ones I have lost to this battle, while making a tangible difference in the lives of those fighting this battle. Cancer impacts not just the individual but also their families and communities, creating challenges that no one should face alone. I believe deeply in providing critical emotional and practical support to children with cancer and their families. By raising funds, I can contribute to ensuring they receive the care, hope, and resources they need during such a difficult time. This effort is a way for me to turn my passion for running into something bigger—advocacy, compassion, and support for those who need it most.
