This year, I am walking (virtually) with a full heart and a very personal mission. In June, my daughter, Ella, will undergo surgery at UPMC Children’s Hospital to remove a brain tumor.

Like any parent, I want nothing more than to see her healthy, strong, and smiling—and I am so grateful to have the incredible team at Children’s beside us during this journey.

I created this team to turn a moment of uncertainty into something powerful: hope, support, and community.

UPMC Children’s Hospital provides life-changing care for families like ours every single day. Your support helps ensure that kids like Ella receive the best possible treatment, cutting-edge care, and compassion when it matters most.

I would be so grateful if you would join our team or donate if you're able.
