Life has a way of teaching us resilience in unexpected ways. Through personal experiences, I’ve learned that growth comes from patience, perseverance, and the willingness to adapt. Challenges can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, progress is always possible.

That’s why I’m running the 2025 NYC Marathon in support of Autism Speaks. This cause is deeply meaningful to me because I’ve seen firsthand the impact that research, therapy, and early interventions can have on individuals and families. The dedication of professionals in speech therapy, occupational therapy, and ABA therapy has changed lives, and I want to do my part in supporting this critical work.

For me, running 26.2 miles is more than just a race—it’s a symbol of resilience. It’s a tribute to those who push through obstacles every day, who work tirelessly to be understood, and who remind us that progress, no matter how small, is worth celebrating.

My goal is to raise $4,000 for Autism Speaks, and I need your help to get there. Your donation, big or small, will go toward research, advocacy, and support for individuals and families affected by autism. Together, we can make a difference.

Let’s cross this finish line together.
