Mobility can help change lives!

I've been cycling for 7 years, and it's transformed how I move through Chicago—turning my daily commute into an energizing start to each day and opening up weekend adventures I'd never have time for otherwise.

For millions of people in rural communities across Africa, a bicycle isn't about recreation—it's about survival. Students can reach school in 30 minutes instead of walking 2 hours. Healthcare workers can visit 5x more patients. Farmers can get crops to market before they spoil.

That's why I'm running the Chicago Marathon for World Bicycle Relief, an organization that has distributed over 750,000 bicycles to communities in need. If you're able to contribute, every $147 provides a bicycle that can genuinely change someone's life.

Thanks so much for being here—whether you donate or just cheer me on, I'm grateful for the support and excited to be part of such an awesome event!

Thank you to my supporters
