My Story…

UPDATE: 

Well, that was quick! 😂💚

I honestly didn’t expect to hit my original $250 fundraising goal so soon, but thanks to some incredibly generous people, we’ve already made it happen!

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, shared or supported me so far. It genuinely means a lot. 

With Grandma’s Marathon still months away, I figured why stop here?

I am officially raising the goal to $500!

26.2 Miles for a Greener Future

The last few years of my life have been about pushing myself, taking on new challenges and seeing how far I can go.

From graduating college, joining the Wisconsin Army National Guard, making it through months of military training and now continuing to build my career and chase bigger goals, I’ve learned a lot about discipline, resilience, seeking discomfort and staying committed when things get hard.

Running has become a big part of that journey.

In June 2027, I’ll be taking on Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth. My first full marathon and one of the biggest physical goals I’ve set for myself.

I wanted the miles to stand for something bigger than a finish time, which is why I’m raising money for Racing for Sustainability.

Their work helps make races more environmentally responsible and protects the places that make running so special.

If you choose to donate or follow along with the journey, I truly appreciate the support.

One mile at a time. One challenge at a time. 26.2 to go.

Description
