My Story…
This year, I’ll be participating in the DICK’S 1/2 Marathon in honor of someone incredibly special to me—my dad.
My dad has completed this marathon many times over the years, and now it’s my turn to follow in his footsteps. ❤️
This past year has been incredibly challenging for him. He has bravely battled bladder cancer and is still recovering from major surgery. On top of that, he is facing the daily challenges of Parkinson’s disease.
Through it all, he continues to show incredible strength and resilience.
I’m participating not only to honor my dad and everything he’s been through, but also to raise money for Parkinson’s research, in the hope that one day families like ours will have better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
Every mile will remind me of his strength, his determination, and the many miles he ran before me.
If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean so much to me and my family. And if you can’t donate, sharing this post would be just as appreciated.
For my dad, for every family facing Parkinson’s, and for the hope of a cure. 💙
