My Story…
On September 27th, 2026, I'll be lacing up my sneakers and participating in the annual Miles for Migraine Walk/Run at the Navy Yard. This event means a lot to me because I've experienced migraines since childhood, and they continue to be something I deal with as an adult. Over the years, I've learned just how much migraine disease can impact everyday life, which is why I continue to support this event each year. I'm thankful to have an amazing care team and a strong support system that have helped me along the way. Miles for Migraine helps raise awareness, provides education and support groups, and works to address the shortage of headache specialists so more people can get the care they need.
This year, I'm hoping to raise even more than I have in the past, and I would love your support. If you'd like to participate, I would love to have you join my team, 1500 Market, for the two-mile walk or 5K run. If you're unable to join us, you can also support my fundraiser by making a donation. Whether you decide to walk, run, donate, or simply cheer us on from afar, thank you for helping raise awareness for migraine disease. Your support truly means a lot to me.
