2025 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend - Team Hope Story

Hello there!

For those who don't know, I used to hate running and would actively go out of my way to avoid it. This year though, I found a love for running to where I will actively rearrange my schedule so that I can go on a run. Now I have the great opportunity to combine my love of helping, running, and Disney. In February of 2025, I will be racing the Fairytale Challenge in Disney World for Hope Story! This incredible organization provides no-cost resources to medical professionals and families whose child has received a Down syndrome diagnosis. I am super excited to be representing them at Disney World! Thank you for your support!!

Here's how your donation can be put to work:

$5.00 - Prints 10 “How to Deliver a Down Syndrome Diagnosis with Hope” Booklets.
