I am proud to be running the NYC Half Marathon as a partner for Hope for Partnership to End Addiction this March. This mission is deeply personal to me. Addiction has impacted my family in profound ways, and I’ve seen firsthand the pain, confusion, and long-term challenges it can create. Too many people struggle in silence, and too many families carry the weight of this disease without the support or resources they desperately need.

By running for this cause, I’m choosing to honor those in my life who have battled addiction, to support those still fighting, and to stand with the families who are affected every day. I want to be part of something that brings hope, awareness, and real change. Raising funds and awareness through this race allows me to channel my love for my family into action—into something that can help others find recovery, connection, and a path forward.

This isn’t just a race for me. It’s a commitment to the people I care about, a way to turn pain into purpose, and a step toward ending addiction’s impact on families like mine.

If you’re able, I would be incredibly grateful for your support. Your donation—no matter the amount—will help fuel programs, resources, and support systems that truly make a difference in the fight against addiction. Together, we can bring hope to more families and help move toward a future free from this devastating disease.
