Why I Run
Running is my escape, my therapy, and my passion all rolled into one exhilarating activity. There's something indescribably freeing about lacing up my shoes, hitting the pavement, and feeling the rhythm of my breath and footsteps syncing in perfect harmony.
Running my first marathon in New York City last year was an electrifying experience. The bustling streets, the cheering crowds, and the iconic landmarks served as the backdrop to an unforgettable journey of perseverance and triumph. As I crossed the finish line amidst a sea of fellow runners, engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions, I knew in that moment that I was hooked. Soon after the race I created a goal to complete all 6 of the world's major marathon races. Once I started researching next year’s marathon dates, I knew that I HAD to make it to Berlin, Germany. The race is on my 30th birthday AND it is the 50th anniversary for the Berlin Marathon!
I immediately began searching for charities to support and I had a friend from work mention The Bell Center. My wife Ashleigh and I both know the importance of early intervention for children. The Bell Center believes in the power of early intervention and the potential of every child, regardless of their abilities. They are dedicated to providing comprehensive early intervention services for infants and toddlers at risk for developmental delays or disabilities. Through a combination of therapy, education, and support, they strive to empower children and their families to reach their fullest potential. Your generous support will help TBC continue to provide these vital services and make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families in the Birmingham area. Join me in helping create brighter futures for all children! My goal is to raise $3,000 to support Marlee and other children who recieve services from The Bell Center!
