Why I’m Running the Cocodona 250 for CAF

In May 2025, I’ll be taking on the Cocodona 250—a 250-mile ultramarathon through the Arizona desert. I’ve done some hard things before, but Cocodona is on a whole new level. Running has changed my life and mindset, teaching me what it means to push limits, break through, and keep going when it gets tough. I believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the growth, confidence, and fulfillment that come from being active and competitive, no matter their circumstances.

Why the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF)?

CAF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people with physical disabilities lead active lifestyles and participate in sports. They provide grants for adaptive sports equipment like prosthetic limbs, handcycles, and specialized wheelchairs, which are often expensive and difficult to access. Each year, CAF awards more than 3,000 grants to athletes across a range of sports, covering everything from essential equipment to training expenses.

CAF also organizes community events, training clinics, and mentorship programs, creating an environment where athletes can connect, find inspiration, and push each other to succeed. Over the years, CAF has helped thousands of athletes overcome physical limitations and realize their potential, while also raising awareness about the abilities and achievements of people with physical challenges.

How You Can Help

• Donate: My goal is to raise $10,000 for CAF. Every donation directly supports athletes in need of equipment, training, and resources.

• Share: Spreading the word helps us reach more people who want to make a difference.

• Support: Follow my journey as I train and take on the Cocodona 250.

Let’s make a difference together. Your support won’t just get me through every mile—it will help make a real impact.

Thank you,
Mason Newberry
