I’m proud to be running the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon as part of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation Endurance Team.

In 2022, my cousin Maryam Salim was diagnosed with a rare tumor that affects around 100-150 new children each year. Due to the tumor, she developed chronic, life threatening conditions including adrenal insufficiency, arginine vasopressin deficiency, and bilateral optic nerve atrophy. After a gross total resection at Boston Children’s Hospital,  she currently requires around the clock medication to fight off illness. 

I would be incredibly grateful for your support as I take on 26.2 miles for this cause so important to my family.
