Hello, 

Welcome to my fundraising page. Thank you for your interest and helping me support my goal. 

On October 09, 2022, I'll be running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon to raise money and awareness for Dare2tri. I thought I would be taking a break from marathon racing this year but I have decided to run the Chicago Marathon this coming Fall again and rejoined the Dare2tri Raise to Race Team - a community of charity runners who race to support athletes with physical disabilities and visual impairments. 

I had the opportunity to celebrate and honor Team USA Tokyo Paralympics medalists and Dare2tri athletes last October and it left me inspired to come back and help this amazing cause.  Seeing the athletes with disabilities achieve their goals showed me that nothing is impossible and that you can do anything with the right support and training. Dare2tri has done that and beyond the last 10+ years so I want to give back to this wonderful charity organization and raise funds for training programs, prosthetics, adaptive equipment, and race support for athletes in need. Please help me reach my goal by making a donation today! This will help transform a life in more ways than you can imagine.

Dare2tri’s mission is to give back and enhance the lives of individuals with physical disabilities and visual impairments by building confidence, community, health and wellness through swimming, biking and running. A leader in the paratriathlon community, Dare2tri provides adaptive training for youth, adults, and injured service members, from novice to elite. Since 2011, Dare2tri has helped thousands cross the finish line by eliminating barriers to high-priced equipment, transportation, and coaching. 


Thank you for your support.
