Cocodona Charity Bibs

Help me in supporting Boston Bulldogs for Sedona Canyons 125 2026!

Hello everyone! My name is Joey Thompson. 4 years ago, I decided to make a change for a better life. I was at my heaviest weight, drinking daily, and felt like I was at rock bottom. I started to workout, ended up losing 130 pounds and pushed myself to run a half marathon. Almost 3 full years later I have done 10 half marathons, 9 marathons, and 3 ultras. I dream to run the full Cocodona 250, this race is to mentally prep me for what to expect. This race is the biggest one I have ever done, but with your help I can get to the start line and through the finish line. I am raising money for the Boston Bulldogs because they help recovering addicts to a better future through fitness. Their mission means a lot to me because being almost 3 years sober now, I could not have done it without a community and without running/fitness. I have fallen in love with pushing my limits and seeing what is physically possible. I dream to inspire others and show them that your life isn't over when you think you are at rock bottom. In fact, all you have to do is believe in yourself and take that first step to a better future. Anything is possible when you and a supportive community around you believe you can and push you to your full potential. Together we go further. 

A donation of any size will help get me across the finish line, can I count on your support?
