Hi friends! I have been given the incredible opportunity to run the 2026 Tokyo Marathon as a charity runner, and will be running to raise money for Special Olympics Nippon Foundation. It is an honor to be able to work towards completing this personal goal while also supporting an organization that creates life-changing opportunities for others.

Special Olympics is a global organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Any donation amount that you are willing and able to give is greatly appreciated!

As an aside, the Tokyo Marathon charities do not set up fundraising pages (such as the ones you may have seen me use for past races), which is why am I utilizing GFM. All donations will be sent directly to Special Olympics via my runner account, and no donations will be used for private travel or lodging expenses. Please let me know if you have any questions!
