I am stepping (way) out of my comfort zone and participating in the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon - but I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for the individuals and families who need help. I believe in Canine Companions and their mission to provide expertly trained service dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities FREE of charge, and that is why I am participating. 

All fundraising efforts will go toward DogFest Washington DC 2026, the national signature fundraising event for Canine Companions. Through peer-to-peer fundraising, people across the country help support the mission of providing expertly trained service dogs at no cost to people with disabilities. The impact these dogs have on the lives of people with disabilities is incredible. Help me get to my fundraising goal by donating online so we can get more of these amazing Canine Companions service dogs into the lives of those who need them.

Every little bit will help me reach my goal. Thank you!
