Help Dan raise money

Dan here! I’m excited to be running in the 2026 Twin Cities Half Marathon on October 4th to support the YMCA of the North’s Adventure Team for my second year!

My connection to Y Adventure runs deep. I spent five summers working at Camp St. Croix, where I developed a passion for serving youth and creating meaningful experiences in the outdoors. Since then, I’ve spent more than a decade leading different camps across the Y of the North. The Y has given me countless memories, friendships, and opportunities to make a difference in the lives of young people and families.

My fundraising goal is $750, and I’d love your help getting there! Any amount, big or small, makes a difference. If you’ve supported me as a charity runner before, thank you. Your encouragement means a lot.

The funds will be used on initiatives related to equity and other training and development opportunities that support our team in delivering safe, high-quality experiences for all of our participants. 

I’ve seen firsthand how powerful outdoor experiences can be. They build confidence, create lifelong relationships, and give people the opportunity to feel connected and included. I want to help make sure those experiences are available to as many young people and families as possible.

Thank you for helping us create more opportunities for unforgettable experiences, lifelong relationships, and a stronger community!
