Hi everyone! On November 21, 2026, I’ll be lining up at Benjamin Franklin Parkway to run the Philadelphia Half Marathon. For my first half marathon, I’m thrilled to be running to support Canine Companions. Canine Companions provides expertly trained service dogs to children, adults, and veterans with disabilities—at absolutely no cost to the recipients. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to raise and train just one of these incredible dogs, and your donation directly helps "unleash the potential" of a person waiting for their perfect match. My goal is to raise $1,000 by September 30th. The funds I raise running the marathon help magnify the impact of Dogfest D.C. 2026, a Canine Companions signature event. Whether it’s $10 or $100, every dollar helps provide a life-changing partner for someone in need. Thank you for helping me reach the finish line and supporting this amazing organization!
