I have worked in the field of spinal cord injury rehabilitation for 14 years. I have dedicated my career to understanding and facilitating recovery for individuals with paralysis. I hope to bring awareness to this great organization and support the great advocacy work that U2FP has done. This is my first marathon! I ran the Twin Cities Marathon 10 mile race 5 years ago. I'm excited to challenge myself in a way I have never done before, though I'm nervous that I won't finish!
Fun facts:
After a long run I crave WATER!
When I'm training I like listening to Dave Matthews band.
City: Zumbrota, MN
Profession: Physical Therapist
Fundraising Goal: $1,500.00
Race Goal: survive training and to finish the race!
Unite 2 Fight Paralysis is proud to be an official charity team for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon in 2019. Team U2FP is a group of passionate, hard working runners and wheelchair racers committed to racing the 26.2 miles and fundraising to advance research towards a cure for spinal cord injury.
The team raised over $125,000 in the past few years. All funds directly support our mission: to cure paralysis through advocacy, education, and support for research. Thank you for your support!
