MEET MARION
One Runner. One Mission. One Rare Cause.
This spring, I’ll be running the 2026 Tokyo Marathon, my fifth World Major in honor of those living with rare neurological diseases like Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO). After a 2020 relapse left me partially paralyzed, I learned to walk again, then to run. Now, every mile is a message: we are here, we are strong, and our stories matter.
