In Support of Susanna’s Journey

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I am taking on a massive personal challenge, the Key West Half Marathon, on January 17, 2027! This race represents months of early mornings, grueling long runs, and strict mental perseverance. Crossing that finish line will be an incredible milestone but getting to the starting line takes a village. Thanks all for your support :) 

Why this specific race matters to me
After many months of rebuilding my physical fitness, tackling this beautiful island course feels like the ultimate way to celebrate health and prove what's possible with dedication. I have been fortunate enough to run ultra trail races with a group, support 5K foundation races, and I am even training for a full marathon this November. However, Key West has always been the ultimate destination at the absolute top of my bucket list. Finally checking this one off means everything to me.

Because Key West is an island with limited space, peak winter costs are exceptionally high. To keep expenses as low as possible, I am splitting a room four ways with others. To be fully transparent, here is exactly how your support will be used:

Total goal: $1,500

Every single dollar raised goes directly toward making these baseline essentials a reality. No contribution is too small! If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or sending words of encouragement means just as much to me. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for backing my training and excited to cross the finish line!
