2025 Big Sur International Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team

Welcome to my fundraising page!

I'm Emilia Hamilton, a Marine Corps veteran and proud supporter of the Semper Fi & America’s Fund. In April, I'm taking on the incredible (and daunting) challenge of running the Big Sur Marathon. I'm running to raise funds and awareness for disabled veterans and their families. Every step I take is dedicated to honoring my fellow servicemembers' sacrifices to our country and ensuring they have access to the resources and support they need. Your contribution, no matter the size, will go a long way in supporting these heroes. Thank you for joining me in this mission!

I'm proudly supporting Semper Fi & America's Fund as a community athlete for the 2025 Big Sur International Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team.
