My first marathon was Philadelphia which was about a year ago. Till then, I had no idea how becoming a marathon runner would change me,define me in a new way-endurance ,resilience, joy...Then came my second marathon Chicago, an Abbott World Major and I was thrilled to cross the finish line as a St Jude's Hero.
I always had the desire to run the most prestigious Boston Marathon and thought why not put those miles towards a good purpose one more time...

I am proud to announce that I will be running the BOSTON MARATHON in April 2023! This race will be for a larger cause - I will be running to raise funds for St Jude Children's Hospital - Cure to Childhood Cancer, a cause which is very close to my heart.
This race will be in the memory of my mother in law and cousin whom I lost to Cancer . Their fight to cancer is an inspiration for me to challenge myself & accomplish goals which seem unattainable.
Dont let the pain define you, Let it refine you !

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer. The families of the patients never receive any bill from St Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their loved one live! Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate in the United States from 20% to more than 80% since we opened in 1962. By 2030, goal of St Jude is to cure at least 60% of children with six of the most common kinds of cancer worldwide.

Together we can build a brighter future.
This fundraising goal can be achieved only through your contributions and your partnership with me on this journey

Your support is greatly appreciated.
