After crossing the finish line of my first marathon one year ago, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to go at it once more in the 114th Boston Marathon® .  

I am again running to raise money for Boston Partners in Education, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children who are struggling in the city’s public school system. While I am a qualifiied runner for this years Boston Marathon, I still want to run for a cause because the sense of purpose gained from being part of something bigger than me (or the marathon) is what makes the experience truly fulfilling. Furthermore, after getting close to the organization and getting to know the people involved I am all the more inspired and honored to run for Boston Partners again this year

Thanks for visiting my page and one more time I truly appreciate your support (in all forms) as it too has played a critical role in my marathon experience: getting me to the start line, and carrying me through the finish.
