Running is more than just a physical challenge for me. It is a time to clear my mind and reflect with gratitude. Through my work as a nurse caring for patients facing life changing diagnoses, long hospital stays, and uncertainty, I am reminded every day of the fragility of life. Some of my most meaningful moments have been as simple as taking a patient outside to feel the warmth of the sun and breathe fresh air, knowing they may still be waiting for the life saving heart they need. Every step I take reminds me to appreciate the moments we often take for granted.

Running has taught me that fitness is as much mental as it is physical. I love testing my limits and feeling grateful for what my body can do. I took up running to find a new challenge and a deeper purpose.This marathon, I’m fundraising for The Orchid Legacy, which provides meaningful support and community for nurses. The compassion nurses showed my family during my mother’s cancer treatment left a lasting mark on me, and I’m honored to run for them.Your donation helps uplift the caregivers who care for all of us. If you’re able, please contribute and share every mile and every dollar makes a difference. Thank you for supporting The Orchid Legacy and cheering me on as I do what I love.
