I am raising funds to support a cause that is important to me while accomplishing a personal goal of finishing my 18th marathon in NYC. This will be the third World Major I complete this year, the other two being Chicago & Boston.
I will be running the NYC Marathon in honor of my great friend, Sonia Chand. Sonia was different growing up and because of this, she was brushed off and told she wouldn’t make it past the 8th grade. She was eventually diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of 20 but not before enduring years of being misunderstood. Sonia is resilient and not only did she finish 8th grade and graduate high school and college, but she also went on to finish law school, pass the bar and become an attorney. She then went back to school and is now a practicing psychotherapist.
Watch Sonia tell her story here: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/chicago-marathon/sonia-chand-runs-chicago-marathon-for-charity-close-to-her-heart/2626975/
Sonia will be running NYC Marathon as well and I can’t wait to experience it with her! She is an inspiration to everyone that she crosses paths with, including myself.
Thank you for helping me reach my goal. Your support is greatly appreciated!
