My Marathon for Mom

I’m 26 and still trying to figure out my life.  I’ve grew up in a small town in CT where my dad tried his hand at farming and we had pigs and chickens.  I’ve lived in London, Sydney, Providence, New York City, and am moving back to Boston to start a new nonprofit job.  I’ll be getting paid in hugs and smiles and loving every minute of it

I enjoy eating good food, reading anything to do with life or love, riding my bike through central park, trying anything once, and experimenting with everything this world has to offer.  I’ve done Tai Chi in India, visited orphanages in the Dominican Republic, scuba dived the great barrier reef, and am looking for my new adventure- running the Philly marathon.

I’m running this marathon in honor of my Mom who passed away from heart disease in 2000.  I’m hoping to raise money and awareness to help fight heart disease (the #1 killer of women).  I’m also hoping this will help remind me to think positively of the years I got to spend with her and make me feel closer to her.  I still miss her every day but am learning to enjoy all the beauty that is still in my life.  Thanks for reading and going on this journey with me!
