Running for a Cause: Supporting the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation


Between May and October 2023, I ran 500 miles to raise funds for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. This campaign was inspired by my mother's battle with Crohn's disease, and every mile was dedicated to the millions of people living with IBD.


The Foundation has contributed over $500 million toward IBD research, funding discoveries in genetics, the gut microbiome, and new treatments. Donations also support patient education programs, local support groups, Camp Oasis for children with IBD, and advocacy efforts for better insurance access and research funding.


This campaign is now complete. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and cheered me on. Together, we turned miles into something that matters.
