This organization has been close to my heart since my senior year of high school, when I participated in the Senior Axemen Pageant to support the Relief Nursery’s mission.

Now, as a new father, my appreciation for the Relief Nursery has grown even deeper. My wife and I have been incredibly fortunate to have the support of family and friends as we navigate parenthood, but I know that not every family has that safety net. You are only as good as the community around you, and the Relief Nursery does an incredible job of being that village for those who need it most.

By helping me reach my $350 goal, you aren't just helping me register for a race - you are directly supporting early intervention and family support services that prevent child abuse and neglect in the Eugene community.

Any contribution, no matter the size, helps me get one step closer to the starting line and ensures a local family gets the support they deserve. Thank you for helping me give back to this wonderful organization!
