2025 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend - Team Hope Story

Ten years ago, I visited Walt Disney World for the first time, and ran my first Disney races - the then-Glass Slipper Challenge - as a fundraiser for Special Olympics Florida.  I would go on to meet several friends, stay in the runDisney circle for years,

Just over five years ago, a medical situation left me no longer able to run, and although I've stayed engaged with my Disney friends, I've dearly missed the runDisney event energy.

This serendipitous anniversary weekend will mark my first Disney race as a handcycling participant.  I've decided to do it as a charity athlete again, this time fundraising for a likeminded organization - Hope Story.
