I am running the 2022 NYC Marathon for Team Haymakers for Hope, a nonprofit that is committed to innovative fundraising (donor-driven boxing matches!) for cancer research, treatment, and survivorship.

While I am a fan of boxing, I know the first rule of fight club (?). 

So instead, I’ll mention that the fight to cure cancer is something that is particularly close to my heart. Everyone in my family has been affected by it in one way or another, and as a family, we’ve learned that the best way to move through difficult times is to stay present and to hang together.

For me, running is grounding. It’s the most practical thing I do to stay rooted in the present. That’s why I can think of no better charity or cause to support for my inaugural marathon. 

And since I also know the second rule of fight club (?), I’ll end with that. Thank you for your support!
