A Brother's Promise
My sister Nicole was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when she was just 10 years old, an age when life should be simple, joyful, and carefree. Instead, she was faced with a lifelong condition that demands courage every single day. Watching her grow up with MS shaped my understanding of strength in ways I'll never forget.
Her resilience is the reason I’m running.
In April 2026, I'll be taking on the London Marathon, not just to cross a finish line, but to honor Nicole and everyone living with MS. This race is personal. Every mile I run is a tribute to her determination. Every donation moves us closer to breakthroughs that could change lives.
Why This Matters: I’ve run marathons from Boston to New York, but none have carried this kind of meaning. Training for London feels different, because now, I’m running for something far bigger than myself.

Our Irish Adventure
This past fall, Nicole and I embarked on a trip we'd been dreaming about for years — exploring the wild beauty of Ireland together. From the dramatic Cliffs of Moher to the mystical Skellig Islands, every moment reminded us why we fight so hard for a cure.
Miles of Experience
From Boston to New York, I've been training and running marathons to prepare for this ultimate challenge. Each race has strengthened my resolve to make the London Marathon my most meaningful finish yet.
Boston Marathon
The 129th running of the world's oldest annual marathon. Crossing that iconic Boylston Street finish line was unforgettable.
My Biggest Fans
Every finish line means more when family is there waiting. Their support fuels every single mile.
NYC Marathon
Running through all five boroughs of New York City with over 50,000 runners — an experience like no other.
Help Us Cross the Finish Line
Your donation to the MS Society funds critical research, supports families affected by MS, and brings us closer to a world free from this disease.
"Watching David train for these marathons, knowing he's doing it for me and for everyone living with MS — there are no words. He's not just my brother, he's my hero."
