This is my first time running for Team Fired Up! I was encouraged to sign up by one of my Run Disney friends who believed in me. Raising funds for Dragon Master Initiative feels incredibly meaningful as I train for my first Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World. Cancer impacts everyone. I have had many friends and family members impacted by a cancer diagnosis and feel connected to Dragon Master Initiative's mission: To find and accelerate cures for cancers and other rare diseases by fostering and rewarding a community of collaboration and innovation. 

In January 2026 I ran my first full marathon! The Dopey challenge I am raising funds for is in January 2027 and involves a 5k, 10k, half marathon and full marathon in 4 consecutive days, of course at the happiest place on earth! 

I deeply appreciate all of your generous support as I train for this next challenge.
