On October 12th, I’ll be lacing up my sneakers and running 26.2 miles in the Chicago Marathon. But I’m not just running for myself, I’m running for pets in need. 🐾

I’m proud to be running with Team PAWS Chicago, supporting one of the city’s most beloved no-kill animal shelters. As someone who has loved animals my entire life, this mission means the world to me. I’m dedicating this race to two very special pups: my dogs, Maverick and Puck, who inspire me every single day with their joy, loyalty, and unconditional love.

By day, I work at Matrix Partners, a pet marketing agency where I manage social media for some remarkable pet brands. I get to combine my love for animals and creativity every day, which makes running for pets in need feel even more meaningful and personal. It’s like everything in my life—my work, my passions, and my pups—has led me to this moment. 🏃‍♀️🐶

I’m beyond excited to take on my first marathon, but knowing it supports a cause close to my heart keeps me motivated with every mile. If you’re able, it would mean the world to me if you’d consider donating to help me meet my fundraising goal for PAWS Chicago. Your support will directly help rescue pets get the care, shelter, and love they deserve.

Let’s do this for Maverick, for Puck, and for pets everywhere who need a second chance. 💞
