I’m running the 129th Boston Marathon to support Mals Pals!

Hi friends and family,

I’m excited to share that I’ll be running the 129th Boston Marathon, but this year, my race has an even more meaningful purpose. I’m fundraising for Mals Pals, an organization that supports and raises awareness for Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome (RTS).

Why this matters to me: Mal, a classmate and close friend of my daughter Ella, has Rubinstein Taybi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple aspects of development, including physical, cognitive, and social development. Through Mals Pals, Mal’s family has been raising awareness about RTS and supporting other families affected by this condition, ensuring no one faces this journey alone.

By running this iconic race, I hope to honor Mal’s strength and the incredible work Mals Pals is doing. But I can’t do it alone — I need your help!

How you can help: Please consider donating to this cause to help raise awareness for RTS and support Mals Pals in their mission to help families like Mal’s. Every dollar makes a difference, and your support means the world to us.

Why it matters: Donations to Mals Pals go directly toward raising awareness, supporting research, and providing resources to families navigating RTS. Your generosity will make a tangible impact, and together we can help spread the word and make a difference.

Goal: I’m aiming to raise $3,500 by race day, April 21! Whether you can donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps, and I am truly grateful for your support.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I’ll be running every mile with Mal and Mals Pals in mind, and knowing you’ve got my back means everything.
