‍♂️ From Chains to Change: My Marathon of Redemption 

On January 11th, 2026, I will be running the Houston Chevron Marathon—26.2 miles of grit, grace, and gratitude.

This isn’t just a race… it’s a celebration of redemption.

In December, I will graduate Drug Court—for the second time. But this time, everything is different. In 2007, I completed Drug Court for all the wrong reasons. I didn’t think I had a problem. I thought I just got caught. I took the program to avoid prison and celebrated graduation by getting high. I was still lost, broken, and searching for something I couldn’t name.

Fast forward to now—God gave me another chance, and so did the system. I had to beg to be accepted back into Drug Court, and when I stood before Judge Toni Terrett I told her honestly—I didn’t think I deserved another chance. I thought I had already blown the grace God had given me.

But she gave me a shot… and God moved in my life.

Since then, I’ve embraced recovery in a whole new way. I’ve found purpose, peace, and a path that’s not just about staying sober—it’s about giving back.

So I’m running this marathon not just for me, but for every man and woman still fighting for their recovery.

 Here’s how you can join me:

I’m asking friends, family, and supporters to sponsor me per mile—whatever God lays on your heart. I’ll be running all 26.2 miles, and every single mile will be a tribute to grace, grit, and second chances.

All proceeds will go to support six local sober living houses that are helping people like me build real lives in recovery:
 • Renewal House
 • Belmont Gardens Sober Living
 • Serenity House for Women
 • S.W.A.G. Ministries
 • One Way Sober Living
 • Beautiful Deliverance 

My goal is to raise $3,000—that’s $500 per house. The money will go toward essentials—things that help make these homes true stepping stones to long-term sobriety.

 Why This Matters:

These sober living houses are lifelines. They’re where people go to rebuild what addiction tried to destroy. A safe bed, clean clothes, support, structure—those things matter. I know firsthand. I’ve lived it.

 Stay Tuned:

I’ll be sharing updates during my training journey. I’ll also post a live link on race day so you can follow my progress and cheer me on. I’m determined to finish this race, and your support will carry me each step of the way.

In the coming days, I’ll share a link where you can give. Donations will be tax-deductible. Must request tax deduction if needed. Let’s run this race together—for recovery, for hope, for change.

Thank you for helping me help others.
Let’s make these miles matter.
