I was first introduced to Dragon Master through my cousin and a friend in spring 2023, learning about their charity and how they are working toward reducing childhood cancer deaths by 50% by the year 2030, I knew this was a charity I wanted to support. As a former pediatric oncology/hematology nurse, their mission touched close to home and I quickly signed up to run and fundraise for springtime surprise!

Fast forward a few months, I had only planned on running JUST the full marathon for Disney’s Marathon weekend 2024, in fact purposefully did not sign up for DOPEY because I wanted to run my first full on “fresh legs”…  but when my cousin reached out with the opportunity to run with Dragon Master again I jumped at the challenge!

So, here I am! Once again, I get to combine two things I am passionate about: Running and supporting childhood cancer research! In January I will be taking on DOPEY: 4 races, over 4 days, through all 4 Disney Parks for a total of 48.6 miles!

I would love for you to join me in supporting this incredible charity. Every donation, no matter how big or small, gets us that much closer to a cure!
