*update - I got injured during training and deferred my race until next year. All contributions will be donated this year so they can immediately benefit those in need. Thank you for all of your help.

Dear family, friends, and whoever else is kind enough to read this!

This summer I will be running the San Francisco marathon in benefit of End Overdose, a 501c3 committed to preventing drug-related death by providing free harm reduction services like fentanyl testing strips and naloxone training throughout communities and college campuses across the United States.

In all honesty, I do not enjoy distance running and am not looking forward to the 26.2 miles, but I am grateful for an able body and opportunities such as this which would not be possible without the gift of sobriety.

Regardless of whether someone is experimenting or if they are struggling with addiction, I firmly believe that getting high should not be a death sentence. The degree of separation between all of us and someone who has died due to fentanyl/overdose is growing smaller by the day.

God willing I will celebrate 10 years of sobriety on July 22nd, and I can't think of a better way to commemorate the decade than supporting this life-saving organization. Thank you in advance for your consideration and help.

Love and appreciation,

Kevin
