It's been 2 years since I turned right on Hereford Street, then left on Boylston Street. Then, encouraged by the cheering crowd, crossed that legendary finish line. Once wasn't enough and so I'm at it again!

I am excited to report that I have been chosen to participate in the 125th Boston Marathon as part of Team Brookline (www.teambrookline.org). The first time around, my mission was to overcome my apprehensions and prove to myself that I could do something that didn't exactly come easy for me. This time around, it is to use my platform as an amateur athlete to raise money for an organization that means a lot to me.

I am thrilled to be running for The Brookline Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to preserving Brookline’s devotion to excellence in public education. By running for BEF, I am raising funds to support innovative teaching, administrative leadership, professional development, and community participation in the Brookline's schools. Please consider supporting my endeavor.

Thank you!
