Soccer has been part of my life since I was 4-years-old. It taught me teamwork, resilience, and the beauty of connection. This game has shaped who I am in many ways and continues to inspire how I show up in the world. Running the Chicago Marathon for the Chicago Fire Foundation is my way of giving back to the sport that has given me so much. From my early days of playing across Texas to helping grow the game herein Chicago, I've seen how soccer unites and uplifts communities. How the beautiful game inspires girls and boys and gives them the confidence and skills that help in everyday life. I'm running to help create more opportunities for kids to experience the same joy and belonging that this sport has given me.
