On October 13th, I will be representing Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) at the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!  As a member of Team RMHC, I will be training, fundraising and ultimately running 26.2 miles to help keep families together.

Did you know RMHC helps millions of families each year? RMHC helps families cope better and focus on the needs of their sick child, allowing them the ability to spend more time with their child, to interact with their doctors, and to make important decisions about their child’s care.

It costs approximately $100 to give a family one night of comfort and support.  Your donation, of any amount, will not only help me achieve my goal, but will help children stay close to their families when they need it most!

The reason that I personally chose to fundraise for RMHC is because, as a medicine-pediatrics resident, I often have families with children admitted to the children's hospital that benefit from staying at a Ronald McDonald House. The money that I fundraise this year will partially go to the Chicagoland Chapter of RMHC and directly support families at Comer Children's!
