42.2 k at 43 For Mental Health Awareness

This year, I'm taking on a personal challenge by running my very first marathon at 43 years old! I’m calling it "42.2 at 43" in honor of the 42.2 kilometers I’ll be running to mark this milestone.

The run will take place on April 13 2025 in Bend Oregon.

As I prepare for the race, I want to use this opportunity to raise funds for an incredibly important cause: Mental Health Awareness.

I’m raising money in support of the Jamie Blain Memorial Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting mental health initiatives and breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness. Mental health affects us all, and with your help, we can contribute to creating more awareness and support for those who need it most.

To get to know more about Jamie's story I have added a small documentary below

My goal is to raise $1,000 to help fund these vital efforts. Your donations will make a real difference in the lives of many people who are affected by mental health challenges. This will help support initiatives and events put on by Jamies Father, Chad and the rest of the board at the Jamie Blain Memorial Foundation. Anything helps!

Thank you for supporting me on this journey, both in my marathon and in supporting this great cause!
