If you know Jeffrey, well, you’ll already know that he dreams big. Back in 2016 he set two pretty big goals… 1.) Do Ironman Wisconsin and 2.) Run the Boston Marathon.

In September of 2024, as many of you know, Jeffrey became and Ironman, thanks to the love and support and the generous donations of so many, like you! In just over a month, Jeffrey will be fulfilling his Boston dream!!! On April 21st, 2025, we will be toeing the line of yet another epic journey. A lot of hard work has gone into this.

Back in 2016, when Jeffrey told us his dreams, I thought “impossible.” But, “let’s see what we can.” So, I trained and trained and trained and trained… and trained… In May of 2018 we ran our first BQ and were elated that we would be going to Boston in 2019. NOT.

Boston has an age limit of 18. No participant, no matter what, can be under the age of 18. So, we waited and waited and waited. We kept ticking off other goals, like half IM tris, other marathons, Ragnar, and a 50 mile ultra to name a few. Until now. Now is the time!

We are really excited to finally get to do this, but we could really use your support. The projected cost of this trip will be between $4,000 and $5,000. Please help in any way that you can.

Thank you.
