My Story

I hope this message finds you well. As many of you know, I’m always up for a challenge—whether it’s at work or outside of it. This May, I’m participating in the Sporting Life 10K to support Campfire Circle. This amazing event raises funds to provide play-based experiences through in-hospital, community, and overnight camps for kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. This empowers kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis.

 

But I’m not stopping there. I’m adding a personal twist to the challenge:

 

For every $100 raised, I will add 2 pounds to a rucksack that I’ll wear during the race—up to a total of 60 pounds. Yes, you read that right: I’m willing to carry the extra weight (literally) for this important cause.

 

Here’s how you can help:

1. Donate: Every dollar counts, and your contribution will help us reach our goal of helping as many children as possible.

2. Share: Spread the word! Encourage your colleagues and friends to contribute as well.

3. Cheer: Whether you’re at the finish line or rooting for me from afar, your support means the world.

This isn’t just about testing my endurance; it’s about making a real difference. Together, we can contribute to a cause that positively impacts lives—and have a little fun pushing my limits along the way.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, encouragement, and maybe a little laughter as I like a new born deer wobbling across the finish line 😊
