Hi there, and thank you for visiting my peer to peer page!

I’m excited to be back with OpenWater’s Women’s Team for the 2026 Wild Buffalo Relay - a 32‑mile paddle from Catalina Island to Newport Beach. (When I say excited, I don't mean like wooo hooo - I mean I'm super grateful to be able to invited to make a difference and do something hard for others.)

I said yes because this community matters. OpenWater creates a powerful space where veterans, first responders, and their families feel supported and never have to carry things alone.

I’m paddling as a civilian and advocate, with deep appreciation for those who serve all of us, and for their families who support them. 

My goal this year is to raise $5,000 to support these life‑changing programs provided by OpenWater.

If you feel moved to donate, share, or cheer us on, thank you - you’re part of this community too.

And if you want to go bigger, I’m chairing the 9/11 Honor Challenge on September 13, 2026. This year brings together two historic milestones - the 25th remembrance of a fateful day and the 250th anniversary of the United States of America - calling us to honor sacrifice, service, and the enduring strength of our nation. Call me or text me to get involved - 714-624-7773.
