Help Me Support RMHC at the Tokyo Marathon

Five years after my first attempt – which was delayed due to Covid – I will finally run the Tokyo Marathon 3 weeks from today. It’ll be the victory lap of a long journey, and I am honored to be running it in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). RMHC provides a “home away from home” for families with seriously ill children receiving medical treatment.

It’s been a tough training cycle (this picture is from sunnier and warmer days!), but RMHC’s mission to keep families together during challenging times has inspired me and added motivation to every step of the journey.

My goal is to raise ¥550k Yen (~$3.6k USD) to support RMHC. Your generous contributions will go directly towards helping families in need, ensuring they have a safe and comfortable place to stay while their children receive the care they deserve. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for your support—it means the world to me and to the families I’m running for.

Arigatō!
