100 Friends for 100 Miles
2025 Campaign
The Why
“You’re doing what?”
That’s the question I get asked a lot — especially now that I’m running 100 miles in a single day.
What started in 2015 as a way to process my time in the Marine Corps has turned into something much bigger. Endurance sports have become my way of testing limits — physically, yes, but even more so mentally. Every race takes me to the edge, into that space where comfort disappears, and only grit remains.
I’ve learned to love that space. To fight through it. To grow inside it.
But this time, it’s not just about me.
This run — 100 miles — is about showing what’s possible when a community comes together. It’s about raising $20,000 through 100 friends stepping up to support a cause I care deeply about. Your encouragement, your donation, your belief — it all fuels me forward.
The medals and trophies? They’ll gather dust. But this — this matters.
Special Olympics Utah
What They Do:
Special Olympics Utah empowers children and adults with intellectual disabilities by providing year-round training and Olympic-style competition across a range of sports. Through sport, they build confidence, develop lifelong friendships, and experience the joy of being seen and celebrated.
Where Your Support Goes:
100% of your donation will directly support these athletes, covering things like uniforms, coaching, travel, and equipment.
Why It Matters to Me:
I was born into the Special Olympics movement. My parents gave their lives to this mission. I’ve been a Unified Partner, I’ve traveled to the World Games, and today I serve as Co-Chair of the Special Olympics Utah Board of Directors. Most of all, I’m lucky to call so many athletes my friends.
“Special Olympics is not just about people with intellectual disabilities; it's about unleashing the spirit to uncover the best in ourselves."
