Running 340 Miles to Fight for Mental Health

Don protégé
Ten years ago, I hit rock bottom. I was battling depression, struggling to believe I was worth fighting for, and I became one of the 1.6 million people who attempted suicide that year. But I made it through. I fought to rebuild my life—losing 120 lbs, becoming a coach, and dedicating myself to helping others find their own strength.

Now, I’m taking on The Speed Project: Solo—a 340-mile race from Santa Monica to Las Vegas. But this isn’t just about the run. It’s about mental health, resilience, and proving that we are all capable of more than we think. I’m documenting this journey to share the real, unfiltered struggles and triumphs—so that someone out there fighting their own battle knows they’re not alone.

This trip will cost between $10,000 - $15,000, covering race logistics, crew support, and the production of a documentary that will inspire others and support NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness). Our goal is to enter the film into festivals to reach even more people and spark real conversations about mental health.

How You Can Help
Every donation brings this mission to life, and I want to give back to those who support it:

$20 – Personal video thank you
$50 – 30-minute phone call to chat about your health goals + a 1-month custom workout plan
$100 – Printed racing photo + personal thank-you letter
$500 – Everything above + thank-you credits in the film
$1,000 – Everything above + Associate Producer credit in the film

This isn’t just about me running—it’s about creating something bigger, something that can truly make a difference.

If you believe in this mission, I’d love your support. Every donation, share, and conversation helps push this forward. Let’s make an impact together.

Donate now & be part of the journey.
