Hi everyone —

This year, I’m competing in a Half Ironman on June 14 to raise money for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer.

As a member of a professional business fraternity that supports St. Baldrick’s as one of its philanthropies, this cause is especially meaningful to me. I wanted to use this race as an opportunity to support an organization that is making a real difference for children and families battling cancer.

Every day, thousands of kids face challenges far greater than any race. St. Baldrick’s helps fund critical childhood cancer research, improve treatments, and support families through incredibly difficult times.

Your donations help:

* Fund innovative childhood cancer research aimed at discovering safer and more effective treatments

* Support programs and resources for children and families impacted by cancer

* Advance lifesaving research that brings us closer to cures for pediatric cancers

And to add a little extra motivation:

If this fundraiser reaches $1,500, I will complete the run portion of the Half Ironman wearing a full banana costume.

Every donation — big or small — helps support lifesaving research for kids fighting cancer and gets me one step closer to running 13.1 miles dressed as a banana.

If you’re able to donate or share this fundraiser, I’d really appreciate the support.
