Run If You... Support Boston Marathon 2026!

I am so excited to be running the Boston Marathon in 2026 with Team Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH) this upcoming April! I am currently a patient at Lahey, and Team BILH couldn't be more personal. To say that my care team at Lahey has saved my life is not an exaggeration.

Living with Crohn’s Disease comes with both the joys of remission and the lows of a flare. Lahey has been at the center of my 12-year journey. Over the years, I’ve had a small bowel resection that removed 80 cm of my small intestine, multiple seton placements to help heal a fistula, a gallbladder removal, and a few bowel obstructions with hospital stays. No matter how severe my illness, my care team restore my health, and ultimately allowed me to achieve remission.

I’m running for Team BILH because I am a testament to the phenomenal care they provide. Running a marathon always seemed impossible. Today, I am proud to be able to so. I owe this possibility to Team BILH. Their commitment, compassion, and positivity allow me to truly thrive beyond just stability.
