I’ll be running 26.2 miles in support of First Responders

26.2 Miles. One Powerful Purpose.

Hi!

I'm excited to share something very meaningful with you.

On October 25, 2026, I'll be running the Marine Corps Marathon as part of Team Survive First, and I'm doing it for the men and women who show up for us every day...our first responders and their families.

Every day, firefighters, law enforcements officers, EMT's, and dispatchers run toward crisis. They carry stress, trauma, and emotional weight that most of us will never fully see. Did you know that each year, more first responders die by their own hand than in the line of duty? Survive First is here to change that, and through their programs, first responders receive critical support, education, and resources focused on mental wellness, resilience, and hope.

That's why I've committed to raising $1,250 to help make sure no first responder ever feels alone in their struggle.

When you support this journey, you're helping provide:

- Funding for first responders in need of mental health treatment, but facing financial hardship

- Mental health and wellness training

- Peer support and other educational programs

- Wellness initiatives for responders and their families

Over the next several months, I'll be training, pushing my limits, and sharing this journey with you. Some days will be tough, but knowing I'm running for something bigger than myself keeps my going. If you are able, I'd be honored to have your support.

No amount is too small. Every dollar moves us closer to stronger, healthier, first responders and families.

More than anything, thank you for believing in this mission and for astanding with me and those who serve.
