I'm very excited to share that I am running the 2024 New York City Marathon with Boston Children's Hospital, fundraising for the Miles for Miracles team ✨.
Running this iconic course has been a long-time dream, and I still can't believe I get to do it in the year I welcome a new decade (big 30!), for a cause I deeply believe in, and alongside patient partners who inspire me every step of the way.
When I moved to Boston for grad school, I shadowed a Filipino doctor at Boston Children's Hospital. There, I witnessed children from low-income families around the world receive world-class care and attention, addressing both their medical and non-medical needs. This reinforced my commitment to holistic care that does not discriminate based on income, race, or background, and I've been more committed to supporting this vision ever since.
Training for the marathon is tough, but it's a privilege to contribute to such an important cause through a sport I've grown to love. I hope you can support my fundraising efforts and help make an impact.
Every dollar I raise funds breakthrough research, family support services, and vital care not covered by insurance through the hospital’s Every Child Fund. Your gift will:
- Give children battling the most complex diseases treatments they can’t find anywhere else;
- Help children across the world get a second chance;
- Fuel 3,000+ researchers working to find cures;
- Assist patient-families in crisis with urgent needs, including housing, food, and clothing;
- Provide crucial care to families through outpatient psychiatry clinics;
- And so much more.
