I started Miles for Hope because I wanted to turn something hard into something meaningful. As a firefighter in Seattle, I see how quickly life can change and how much families need hope and support when facing a crisis. I’m running from Seattle to New York, mile by mile, to raise awareness and funds for Seattle Children’s Foundation and the kids and families they fight for every day.

This journey is about more than distance. Along the way I will visit cancer centers, children’s hospitals, and research programs to shine a light on the incredible care and cutting-edge work happening at Seattle Children’s. I want to share stories of resilience and remind families that they are not alone, and that the research and care funded here can change outcomes and give kids the childhoods they deserve.

I know my run won’t cure cancer, but every mile can carry purpose. Your support helps ensure there is never a time when families feel out of options and helps provide hope, care, and cures for children fighting illness. Together we can change the odds for kids who need it most.

Please join me in supporting Seattle Children’s Foundation. Your donation will help provide critical care, advance research, and give more families the chance to see their children thrive. Any gift brings hope and makes these miles matter.
