Team Kidney - 2026 Chicago Marathon supporting National Kidney Foundation of Illinois

I’m a transplant coordinator in CA, running Chicago 2026 to honor kidney warriors and support awareness and patient care in Illinois.
Thank you so much for visiting my page! Don’t worry—I’m still in California—I’m just heading to Chicago in 2026 to run for a cause that means the world to me. As a kidney transplant coordinator, I’m inspired every day by the strength and resilience of the patients I care for and their families. Running the Chicago Marathon is my way of honoring them and supporting the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois. Your support—whether through a donation or sharing this page—truly makes a difference. Every mile is for the kidney warriors who inspire me. 🧡

My first 26.2. I ran the miles; Matt ran the logistics. Honestly, equally important.
