This year I'm happy to share that I am fundraising for Connected Lane County again! I'll be aiming to PR my Half Marathon time and finally break the two hour mark. This will be my third year supporting an organization that values connecting young people with opportunities to help them succeed in adulthood. They do amazing work in the community and continue to show up for youth in real and tangible ways.

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

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. Your support means the world to me!
