I joined Team Unite2Fight Paralysi to raise awareness for spinal cord injury research. I'm a Research Scientist, and one of my research areas is focused on patients with SCI. I've completed the Twin Cities, Boston, and New York marathons, but it has been awhile! And I've only run marathons in cities my daughter has lived in. I'm excited to get back into shape after a hiatus, and to raise money for SCI research!
Current City: Rochester, MN
Hometown: Kansas City, MO
Race Goal: 4:30
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis is proud to be an official charity team for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 2018. Team U2FP is a group of passionate, hard working runners and wheelchair racers committed to racing the 26.2 miles and fundraising to advance research towards a cure for spinal cord injury.
The team raised over $105,000 in the past three years. All funds directly support our mission: to cure paralysis through advocacy, education, and support for research. Thank you for your support!
