My 27-year-old sister, Katie, was diagnosed with Chrons when she was in 8th grade and has struggled her entire life to manage this autoimmune disease. She has undergone numerous surgeries and spent many months of her life in the hospital. She is one of the strongest and most beautiful people I know. I hope that the money I raise can go towards finding a cure so that her and thousands of other people who live with Chrons can have the opportunity to live a happy & healthier life.
This is my 7th marathon and each year I try and raise money for a good cause. Last year I raised money for Boys & Girls Club of Boston and this year I decided to support a cause that personally impacted my family and me. I appreciate any and all donations! Every little bit helps.
