London (Marathon) is Calling AI Warrior Athlete

Donation protected
Have I bitten off more than I can handle? Maybe, but I truly hope not.

Let me explain...

I have been chosen to represent St. John Ambulance with a charity entry in the  London Marathon. Why is this extraordinary? I live in the United States of America. Yep, this American is planning on traveling to Great Britain in April 2020 to run 26.2 miles around London!

This is scheduled to be my fourth marathon, but first outside the United States. This is a huge undertaking financially and physically.

Why would I do such a crazy thing? See the picture above? That is why!

Those girls are but a few of the people with Adrenal Insufficiency and parents of children with Adrenal Insufficiency that I am encouraging to believe they are able to do whatever they set their minds to do.

Since 2016, as the Adrenal Insufficient Warrior Athlete I have been encouraging and creating awareness of Adrenal Insufficiency. On top of that I have salt-wasting adrenal insufficiency. The salt-wasting aspect makes what I do a little more difficult, but I have learned to manage how I do running, especially marathons.

My followers are worldwide, but those in the United States have had the opportunity to personally follow and meet me. When the announcement for the London Marathon applications opened, I saw the chance to take the Adrenal Insufficiency Warrior Athlete internationally. I know there are plenty of families in Great Britain who follow along that were excited to find out I have the plans to come to London for the London Marathon in April 2020.

Let me explain one thing about my fundraising. I am including my wife in the amounts. Why? Without her I would not be able to do any of this. As someone with salt-wasting adrenal insufficiency I need on-course support or I may not be able to finish.

What do I need the funds for: (amounts are approximate)
-$3,000 To fund my charity entry with St. John Ambulance
for direct donation:  
-$4,000 Airfare
-$2,000 Hotel
-$1,000 Meals
-$1,000     Training: shoes, INFINIT Nutrition hydration, clothing
-$2,000     Miscellaneous unknown expenditures

Any little bit you could give will help. Skip the expensive coffee for a day or two. Make a homemade dinner instead of going out to a restaurant (plus it may be healthier for you). Every $5 or $10 donated adds up quickly!

Thank you for any help you may give!
