Your donation will provide bicycles that change lives

I am happy to announce that I am going to be running the 2026 Chicago Marathon! Not only will this be my first star toward my Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal, but it will also be my first ever marathon. Making this even more special is the fact that I will get to run with Vicky, too. This will be her seventh Chicago Marathon and she is constantly such an inspiration to me. We are aiming to sub-4 this baby. Fast enough to qualify for Boston? No. Crazy challenging for us? Yes.

I am so beyond excited that I will be running as a member of the World Bicycle Relief team. As a lifelong cyclist who used to dream as a kid of making it onto a Tour de France team, WBR is an organization I believe in with all my heart. WBR empowers people and communities through life-changing bicycles, helping them conquer the challenge of distance, achieve independence, and thrive. Please read more about WBR at: worldbicyclerelief.org.

Please consider supporting my personal fundraising efforts to help mobilize individuals in rural developing countries. Just $165 helps put a brand new bike in the field and forever changes the trajectory of an individual's life. Spread the word by sharing this page with others who may want to donate to help individuals challenged by distance. 

As always, thank you for your support and I send my love to you all!
