Goal


Welcome to my fundraising page. Not a lot of people know that I use to have an Aunt and Uncle with Down Syndrome. I didn't get to spend much time with my Uncle since he lived in a home. We would visit him when they had events or my family would bring him to the house so we could celebrate his birthday. My Aunt however, she was the best. Loved talking about The Rock and always enjoyed going to her bowling tournaments. Every birthday she had was 21. They both passed on, but of course their memories live on. I am running the 10K and half marathon for them with the help of Hope Story. 


Your donation helps Hope Story provide resources, support, and hope to families whose child has received a Down syndrome diagnosis. Thank you for considering our runners as they work hard to meet their goal of running in the 2024 Disneyland Halloween Marathon Weekend!


Would you partner with me by making a donation of $25, $50, or $100 to my running fundraiser to Hope Story?
