I’m a 26-year-old Computational Biology PhD candidate who went to school in Chicago and will always consider the city a second home. My family has also participated in the Subaru CASA Cycling Challenge in Lafayette, IN since 2018 in support of CASA of Tippecanoe County so when I saw the opportunity to raise money for CASA of Cook County it felt like the perfect fit. I’m so excited that my first-ever marathon will be in support of foster kids in Chicago – let’s make a difference together!
