I am beyond proud to share that I’ll be running the 2025 New York Marathon as part of Team for Kids! For those of you who know me, you know this was once just a dream—and reaching this moment feels almost unfathomable.

This race is deeply personal. It honors my Vovô, whose motto, “Força”—strength—continues to guide me. Before Alzheimer’s took him, he was a passionate runner and my greatest inspiration, teaching me that no matter how difficult life gets, moving forward is the only thing that will get you through. Running, and fitness has allowed me to honor his legacy, while helping kids gain the resources and confidence, I was fortunate to receive in order chase their dreams, and take part in crucial steps toward development.

For me, service is a way of life, and the foundation of what will one day heal the world. I’m asking for your support to help me raise the minimum of $3,000 for Team for Kids, so we can empower the next generation to move forward with strength and hope.

Your donations will not only allow me to reach this goal, but honor a dream I have had for years! Any donation is appreciated, and valued! I ask you to please consider, or share!
