I’m proud to be running the 2026 TCS NYC Marathon as part of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation Endurance Team. I lost a close friend of mine, Andi Bushati, to brain cancer, and I want to dedicate this run to him. CBTF supports children and families impacted by brain and spinal cord tumors from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and beyond, providing emotional, educational, and practical support during one of the most challenging journeys a family can face.

I’ve committed to raising $3,000 to help ensure these families never feel alone, and I would be incredibly grateful for your support as I take on 26.2 miles for this important cause.
