My Progress

I'm going the distance to leave cancer behind!

My Progress

45.0 mi

My Goal

44 mi

100% of every participant-raised dollar goes to EMF’s mission.

Hey everyone!


As many of you know, I've been in remission from rhabdomyosarcoma for about 9 months now, and it's been an incredible journey enjoying every moment and making up for the time I lost spent in treatment.


I'm honored to support the Expected Miracles Foundation (EMF), an organization that provided invaluable support during and after my cancer battle, helping me financially when I was struggling to get back on my feet.


During the upcoming week-long distance challenge, my goal is to walk 44 miles. The number 4 has become symbolic to me, representing positivity during tough times, and participating in this fundraiser is my way of spreading awareness for EMF's amazing work.


Whether you can donate or not, spreading information about the organization to others is a huge help. Your support in any form makes a real difference in the lives of those impacted by cancer. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!

My Updates

Final Update

Tuesday 21st May
With just three hours to spare I’m very excited to share that I reached my goal of walking 44 miles this week!! Thank you to everyone who took the time to learn more about this incredible foundation and who have supported me throughout this week and year. It’s crazy to think about how a year ago it took all the energy I had just to get up and walk to the bathroom and now I’m able to walk 10 miles in one day. Very excited to continue to grow both physically and mentally!!

Day 5

Sunday 19th May
Wow, what a weekend!! I started off the weekend at around 22 miles walked and 22 more to go. So lucky that my cousin Carly came to visit this weekend and we were able to walk together and enjoy the city. We walked almost 20 miles between yesterday and today!! With two days left I only have 3 miles left to meet my goal. Thank you to everyone who has been following along this week!

Day 3

Thursday 16th May
Today was a really full circle day. I woke up and walked a mile before work and then squeezed in 2 miles during my lunch break and then went on a 6 mile walk after work walking 40 block to my friends apartment and 40 blocks back to mine. It’s so crazy how a year ago I could barely walk 9 blocks and today I walked 9 MILES!! I’m so proud of myself for how much strength I’ve gotten back and it hasn’t even been a year since I finished treatment. Thank you to everyone who is following along with me this week!!

First day down!!

Tuesday 14th May
Started off the week with a nice 5 mile walk!! Walked from my apartment in the east side, through Central Park all the way to the west end and back. It was really nice taking in NYC and I was able to avoid the rain for the most part. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me!
