Story

Perspective is everything, and traveling has forced me to see life through other people’s shoes.

Being in different parts of the world, around different cultures and lifestyles, I’ve realized how much we take for granted. Things like health, support systems, and the ability to just live a normal day.

That’s a big reason why I’m running the 2026 Sydney Marathon.

I’m not just showing up to race. I’m doing it to support children and families who don’t have that same foundation. WellChild helps kids with complex medical needs get the care they need at home, surrounded by their families, instead of spending their lives in hospitals.

After experiences like Everest Base Camp and completing my first Ironman, I’ve learned how powerful it is to keep moving forward when things get uncomfortable. But the reality is, these families are dealing with challenges far greater than a race.

That’s why this matters to me.

I want to use something I already care about to help make a real impact.

Every donation goes toward helping families stay together and giving children the chance to live fuller lives.

I appreciate any support along the way whether that is donating or just following the journey.
