Marine Corps Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team 2025

I’m excited to share that I’m chasing a bucket list goal: running the 2025 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC this October! More importantly, I’ll be running to support our veterans as part of the Semper Fi & America’s Fund Team.

This race is more than a personal milestone; it represents the culmination of a transformative nine-month wellness journey, during which I’ve lost 50 pounds through consistent effort, nutrition, exercise, and accountability. Training for the Marine Corps Marathon has fueled my motivation every step of the way.

I’m especially grateful to have Karl and the boys cheering me on, and we’re looking forward to making unforgettable memories together in our nation’s capital after the race!

Would you like to join me in providing support for veterans and helping me reach my fundraising goal?  I am covering all marathon and travel expenses; all donations go to supporting veterans.

I'm proudly supporting Semper Fi & America's Fund as a Community Athlete for the 2025 Marine Corps Marathon Semper Fi & America's Fund Team.
