Hi friends and family!

I am running the 2025 TCS New York City Marathon for Shoe4Africa on November 2nd, 2025!

With your help, Shoe4Africa is building the first-ever pediatric oncology hospital in sub-Saharan Africa. This hospital will give countless children a place to receive life-saving treatment they likely would not get otherwise. As someone who works with pediatric oncology patients every shift at Boston Children’s Hospital, Shoe4Africa’s mission is extremely important to me. In fact, some of my patients happen to be those who have travelled from Africa to the United States specifically for cancer treatment. Every dollar you donate to my page goes directly to the project of building this new hospital.

In addition to the above, Shoe4Africa helps to build schools and put together athletic programs for the children of Africa.

Let’s turn every mile into hope, healing, and a brighter future for Africa’s children. Together, we can make this crazy long run truly matter! Every dollar counts.

Thank you in advance for your support! With love, pride, and gratitude,
Julia <3
