Hi everyone!

On March 1, 2026, I’ll be running the Tokyo Marathon to raise funds for Peace Winds Japan, a nonprofit dedicated to disaster relief and animal rescue.

Through its Peace Wanko project, Peace Winds is leading Japan toward a no-kill model — rescuing dogs and cats from euthanasia, providing medical care and rehabilitation, and helping them find safe, loving homes. Some even go on to become therapy or rescue animals, giving back to people and communities in need.

Every donation, no matter the size, supports this lifesaving mission and helps create a future where no dog or cat is left behind.

By running for Peace Winds, I get to support an important cause and move one step closer to a lifelong goal of completing all six World Major Marathons — with Tokyo being 3 of 6.

Thank you for being part of this journey and helping make a difference for animals in need!

P.S. Feel free to upload a photo of a dog or cat you love along with your donation, so I can keep them in mind on race day :)
