Support No Map for Manhood: A 3,000 Mile Run with Purpose

What's this goal of this project?

I’m running 3,000 miles across America from Long Beach, CA to Long Beach, NY, to explore one question: What does it truly mean to be a man?

Along the way, I’ll connect with men from all walks of life, inviting honest, vulnerable conversations about failure, fear, fatherhood, and healing. I’ll be sharing the journey in real time through daily raw video updates and weekly reflections on my YouTube channel: No Map for Manhood.

Why am I running?

Men today are struggling in silence. I've learned through therapy, mentors, retreats, and raw conversations with friends that healing starts with connection and the courage to speak.

This run is the fulfillment of a 15-year dream, sparked by turning 40 and realizing I never learned a clear, healthy definition of manhood.

Furthermore, I'm taking on this project for my future son. My wife and I are expecting our first child in January 2026, a boy. This run is becoming a message to him about courage, growth, and being fully human.

How do I plan to achieve the goal?

This journey is both physical and emotional, by far the most difficult endurance challenge I’ve attempted, paired with the deepest exploration of self and manhood I’ve ever undertaken. With the support of my wife and small team of friends, I'll be running about 40-45 miles per day for nearly 70 days.

Why do I need you?

I need your support to even make this possible. Donations help cover the cost of essentials like a motorhome, fuel, food, and content creation to spread this message far and wide. Every dollar, share, and word of encouragement counts.

In all honesty, initially it was very difficult for me to ask for help because it made me feel weak, but now I'm learning to ask for help from a place of power. So thank you in advance for helping me, the more help we get, the more powerful this message can be and further it can spread.
