Goal

Another marathon? I've said I'm never doing that again more than once for a race.  However, there is no better reason to come out of retirement than for Hope Story.  I'll be running the 2023 NYC Marathon this November as a Hope Story Runner.  My husband and I founded this organization 6 years ago.  Since then, we have resourced 600+ Hope Advocates, made awesome materials, reached out to doctors, gone to conferences, had medical dinners, connected with families and hopefully helped the world see that having a child with Down syndrome can be pretty amazing.  We are firm believers that the best resource to a new family is an existing family raising a child with Down syndrome and we hope to continue making those connections.  While having a child with DS may be different it is not tragic.  We continue to have big dreams of all that Hope Story can do and your donations help us grow.  


I have a goal of $5000 but would like to blow that out of the water with your help.  I've often compared raising Noah (and honestly any of our children) as running a marathon not a sprint.  So what better way to celebrate than by actually running one!  We are so thankful for your support.
