My name is Jorge-Daniel Lopez Jr. and I will be dedicating the entire year of 2026 to running marathons and other shorter race distances such as half marathons, 10k’s and 5k’s, including notable events such as the Napa Valley Marathon, the Oakland Marathon, the Avenue of the Giants Marathon, the Golden Gate Half Marathon, and my ultimate goal of completing an Ironman in late 2026. Another goal will be to complete 1000 miles through exercise such as running/hiking/walking this year towards the goal of raising as much money as possible if it means I can save more lives. I will be fully dedicating this entire year to racing as many events as possible to raise funds for suicide awareness. All proceeds from donations will go towards funding more races, and any excess donations will be donated directly to suicide prevention organizations. Additionally, I will be working on teaming up with other organizations and nonprofits to gather more donations, and all of those funds will also be dedicated to suicide prevention efforts. I will also be documenting the entire journey through photos, videos, and journal entries, sharing them across social media platforms to increase visibility and hopefully attract more supporters and donors. Everyone will be able to keep up with what’s going on in my training blocks and all progress made towards my goal and what races I have registered for along the journey. Let’s make this year count.
