Hello Everyone!
I am so excited to be running the Boston Marathon® for the first time! I am on the Beth Israel Lahey Health (BILH) Team of 80 passionate runners! As part of Team BILH, I am raising funds specifically for Winchester Hospital’s Special Care Nursery Fund.

Winchester Hospital has been near and dear to my heart through the years in the care I received myself, and my family! We are forever grateful for this high-quality care in the 50+ Years we have lived in the community!
Running the Boston Marathon® has been a dream of mine for many years! I have completed several 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon Races in Massachusetts. I am proud to run as a BILH runner as this is my opportunity to help Winchester Hospital’s Special Care Nursery provide advanced medical care and exceptional family support in a warm and caring environment.

With my fundraising commitment as a runner on Team BILH, my goal is $9,500. Every single donation, no matter how big or small, gets me one step closer to this goal and makes a difference in the lives of newborns, parents, and families.
Thank you so much!!
