I used to weigh 305 pounds. Today, I’m running Broad Street with over 100 pounds lost—and every step is a celebration of growth, grit, and giving back.
Fairmount Park Conservancy has helped turn Philly’s parks into a sanctuary—for wellness, movement, and connection. As someone who rebuilt his life through fitness, I know how life-changing it is to have free, accessible spaces to move your body and clear your mind.
That’s why I’m proud to run as a Park Champion, supporting the Conservancy’s mission to steward and activate more than 2,000 acres of Philadelphia’s public parkland.
I run for movement.
I run for mental health.
I run for the kid who’s scared to start, and the adult who finally does.
I run for parks that change lives—like they changed mine.
Help me raise $475 to keep Philly’s parks vibrant and accessible for all.
Let’s get better—together.
