I made a commitment to stay fit many years ago. From cardio to personal training, staying fit and working out has become second nature to me and a huge part of my life. I am surrounded by extremely athletic individuals on a daily basis who constantly motivate me to challenge myself. This past year I joined New York Road Runners and have completed various 5K and 10K races. I have always dreamed of participating in the ING NYC Marathon, and so I thought what better time to challenge myself than the present!

Unfortunately, over the past few years, many acquaintances as well as close family friends have been diagnosed with cancer. It has become extremely scary how the list of people affected by this illness seems to constantly grow. Sharsheret is an organization that offers support to women and families facing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. They have been there for so many people, and have helped so many families. I am extremely motivated to run my FIRST ING New York City Marathon and am proud to run it on behalf of Team Sharsheret. I am proud to be a member of the Sharsheret family and will run this marathon in honor of those who fought this disease and those who continue to fight, and in memory of loved ones we lost.

Please support me in my efforts to run to the finish line in the ING New York City Marathon!
