I've created this page because I want to make a difference.

We are running a half marathon on October 10th, 2026, to raise awareness and funds for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)! 

Our son River started his speech journey in 2022 when he was just over a year old. He received his official CAS diagnosis in the Fall of 2024.

We launched @RiversWellCAS at the start of 2026 after our speech therapist moved away. This sudden change made us realize how few resources and support options exist for CAS families.

Mid August Update

Wednesday 12th Aug
Over the last few weeks, I've had worsening knee pain so to kick off the beginning of August, I ended up need to take some days off to rest it. 
Looking forward to hitting the pavement again and working toward the goals I have set for race day on October 10th. 
I am just so thankful for the support we've received so far and can't wait to see all the ways God continues to move through this journey. 

July Update

Tuesday 28th Jul
I started this fundraiser just over a month ago - we are still a little over 2 months out from the 1/2 Marathon!
First off, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us so far. It means so much to our whole family and honestly to every other family that has a child with CAS. 
Some of my favorite moments in training so far has been watching the kids join in with us or hearing River tell me "you're actually going 30 miles a hour mom!" whether I'm running or doing weights. 

Thank you to my Donors
