I’m fundraising in memory for my dad to run the Walt Disney World Half Marathon in his memory. He was a Disney lover and always wanted to run the race, we talked about doing it together last January. So now I’m running for the both of us. I’d like to fundraise $1500.

“As many of you know, my dad lived with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Thanks to the research funded by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, our family was blessed with an additional nine and a half years together.

During this precious time, we created countless memories. My dad and mom traveled, he was present at my wedding, he witnessed Nick graduate from college, and he was there to welcome Oliver into the world.

Time spent with a loved one who is battling illness is the most valuable gift of all. One of my dad's favorite places was Disney, and we were fortunate enough to share one last trip together. It seems only fitting that I run in the 2026 Disney Marathon Weekend in his honor

I will be taking on the half marathon, all while raising funds for this important cause. Your donation will help families like ours gain more time to make memories with their loved ones. Every dollar makes a difference, and I am truly grateful to all of you who support me in reaching this goal! Thank you!”
