Support for Marion and His Family After the Loss of His Son

Support for Marion and His Family After the Loss of His Son

Our hearts are heavy as we rally around one of the most cherished leaders in the Virginia running community.

Marion isn’t just a runner — he’s a giver. A mentor. A cheerleader. A man who shows up early, stays late, and pours his heart into helping others cross their own finish lines. He organizes events, connects runners, and brings so much positivity to the streets and trails we love.

Now, Marion and his family are facing an unimaginable loss: the passing of their youngest son.

While no words can ease this pain, we can come together as a community to help shoulder the weight.

This fundraiser will help with:

Funeral and planning costs

Immediate bills and living expenses

Support for their five sons and daughter as the family waits for benefits to be processed.

If Marion has ever encouraged you, paced beside you, or simply made your day better with his presence — this is a chance to give that love back.

Every donation, share, and prayer matters. Let’s show this family the same support Marion has given so many of us.

Please donate and share this link with anyone who knows and loves this family. Your kindness means more than you know.
