I've created this page because I want to make a difference.
I’m excited to share that I’ll be running in the Boston Marathon on April 20, 2026 🏃♂️
This race means a lot to me—not just as a personal challenge, but as a way to support an incredible cause. I’m running to raise awareness and funds for Apraxia Kids, in honor of my friend Benji Black.
Childhood apraxia of speech affects a child’s ability to communicate, and Apraxia Kids provides critical support, resources, and hope to families navigating this journey.
I’ve set a goal that feels both meaningful and achievable: $26—just $1 for every mile I’ll be running.
If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount would mean so much. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post helps more than you know.
Thank you for supporting me, Benji, and all the kids and families impacted by apraxia 💙
