Hi everyone and welcome to my fundraising page for the Boston Marathon. I am so excited to be running my first marathon and even more excited to be running for the GBC. As most of you know, I spent time working at Spaulding Rehab on the spinal cord unit and became so inspired by those individuals with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D) each and every day. I’ve been running now for 20 years, a pastime I started when I danced with the Alabama Ballet. After a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) shortened my ballet career, I have continued to use running to help keep my RA in remission. I’ve always like to say that I run for those who can’t and I’m happy to do that for the 2022 Boston Marathon to raise awareness of SCI/D and to raise funds for the Greater Boston Chapter (GBC) of United Spinal Association.
GBC does incredible work right here in Massachusetts and I was so lucky to see first-hand the difference they make in people’s lives. For nearly 30 years, the GBC has changed thousands of lives, one person at a time. I am so grateful to be running the marathon this year and raising money on their behalf.
Every dollar raised will support the GBC's Mission to improve the quality of life for individuals and their families affected by a life-altering spinal cord injury. The organization never charges for its services, and therefore any donation, no matter how big or small, will go a long way and is tremendously appreciated. Thank you so much for your support and for helping me reach my goal!
