I moved to the city just over a year ago, and running entered my life not long after. Since then, the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon has become one of those races I’ve carried with me as a personal goal. When the opportunity came to finally run it, I knew I wanted it to stand for more than just a finish line. That’s why running with Team Tell Every Amazing Lady® felt so meaningful. Running is where I reconnect with myself. It gives me clarity, steadies my thoughts, and creates a rare sense of calm in the middle of everything else. I never forget that the ability to move my body in this way is a privilege, not a given. Being able to channel that privilege toward something that matters beyond me is something I hold with real gratitude. I’m running this half marathon to help raise awareness for ovarian cancer, a disease that too often goes unnoticed until it is already advanced. By fundraising and helping spread awareness for Tell Every Amazing Lady® my hope is that more women learn to recognize the signs, trust their instincts, and feel empowered to advocate for their own health.
