When I was younger, I spent a lot of time interacting with kids at the local Children's Hospital. These kids are fighters and they deserve to just be kids without having to worry about the effects of their treatment slowing them down.

So, I’m thrilled to be participating in the RunDisney Dopey Challenge with Cannonball Kids' Cancer Foundation! The weekend of January 7th I'll be running a 5k on Thursday, a 10k on Friday, a Half Marathon on Saturday, followed by a Full Marathon on Sunday. That's a total of 48.6 miles over 4 days for cancer research!

I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. I am not a fast runner, but I am driven by purpose! Your support means the world to me, these kids, and their families!

Monthly training updates will be sent to those who donate any amount starting at the end of June. So keep an eye on your email!
