On January 10, 2024, I received a life saving kidney donation from my Stride for Stride teammate, Jorge Rosales.
On November 2, 2024, Jorge and I ran the NYC Marathon together just 10 months after our transplant.
On April 21, 2025, Jorge and I will run the Boston Marathon together to once again show that kidney donors and kidney recipients can.
And, on October 12th I'll run the Chicago Marathon (solo this time) in support of the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois.
Thank you for supporting my running of the Chicago Marathon in support of the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois.
Read about Jorge and me in my book "Transplant Marathon." Available on Amazon or at TransplantMarathon.com
