I’m excited (and slightly questioning my life choices) to be running the 2027 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend as part of Team Club Kid, supporting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida.

I grew up in Central Florida, so this cause is a personal one for me. This community played a big role in who I am today, and I was fortunate to have opportunities that helped me learn, grow, and figure things out along the way. Not every kid has access to that kind of support, which is exactly why organizations like this matter.

The Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe place for kids to go after school, along with academic support, mentorship, and opportunities to explore sports and the arts. It is not just about keeping kids busy. It is about giving them a foundation, positive role models, and a real shot at a great future.

So yes, I am voluntarily running 48.6 miles over four days. For context, that is a marathon, a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. Back to back. At Disney. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

If you are able to donate, I would truly appreciate it. Every contribution helps provide resources and opportunities to kids in the same community that raised me.

Thank you for helping me turn all of these miles into something meaningful.
