I’m lacing up my running shoes for a very personal reason. Earlier this year, my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and supporting her through that has changed how I think about effort, endurance, and what actually matters. Running with Haymakers for Hope is my way of turning that experience into something that can help others.

Every mile I run is in support of people facing cancer and the work being done in research, care, and survivorship. Any contribution directly supports that mission and helps turn individual effort into real impact. I’m grateful for any support and for everyone willing to stand with families going through this.
