A few years ago, running wasn’t even on my radar.

Honestly… it didn’t feel possible.

After bariatric surgery, I was focused on rebuilding my life, my health, and my confidence… one small step at a time.

Running a race? Let alone a challenge race?

That felt completely out of reach.

But something changed.

Step by step… mile by mile…

I started showing up for myself in a way I never had before.

And now?

I’m training for the 2026 Disney World Wine & Dine Two Course Challenge 🏃‍♀️

Not because it’s easy.

But because it means something.

This race isn’t just about me.

I’m running in support of Team Hope Story—an organization that helps children and families facing incredibly hard situations find hope, support, and joy again.

Because the truth is…

While I’m out there running miles, there are families running through challenges far greater than a finish line.

And they deserve support.

To participate in this race, I need to raise $1,500.

Every dollar goes toward supporting the mission of Team Hope Story.

If you’ve ever:

• Cheered someone on

• Believed in a second chance

• Or needed hope yourself

I’m asking you to be part of this with me.

I can’t do this alone—and I don’t want to.

Whether it’s:

• $5

• $25

• Or simply sharing this page

You are helping turn this run into something that truly matters.

Thank you for being part of my journey.

This run is bigger than miles.

And your support means more than you know ❤️
