You may have heard that I’m participating in the 2022 Chicago Triathlon on August 28th. While I’m excited to spend a summer day running, biking and swimming with the backdrop of Downtown Chicago, I’m even more excited to be supporting the Hoban Family Pediatric Cancer Foundation this year.

The foundation started after my son’s schoolmate and friend, Ellie Hoban, was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma back in 2019. A debilitating disease, Ellie was faced with countless hours of intense treatment and weeklong stints in the hospital at just four years old. It’s now been two years since Ellie has been out of treatment and cancer free, but many kids with Neuroblastoma aren’t as lucky.

That’s why I’m asking for your support.

Ellie and other pediatric cancer patients like her have gone through what no child ever should, and the Hoban Family Pediatric Cancer Foundation is working diligently to make sure that no child ever does. Through your donation, you’ll be creating awareness for pediatric cancer, providing financial assistance to families going through treatment and supporting efforts to develop a cure for Neuroblastoma.

Thanks in advance to any and all support. Have a great rest of your summer and make sure to cheer on Team Ellie The Brave on August 28th!
