Hi Friends! It's been a few years but I'm back and better than ever. I've got my sights set on the NYC Half Marathon on March 16 (My Birthday!!) and I'm raising funds in honor of our guy Peyton and for all of the people in our lives that we love who are impacted one way or another by an autism diagnosis. I know first hand the love and care that my friends and family have put in to helping the autism community and I'm thrilled to play this tiny role by raising funds for OAR.

Anyone who knows Pey knows the he's the bravest kid around and I'm to happy to have the opportunity to run another race with him in the forefront of my mind. I'm even going to let him make my playlist... One thing about Peyton is that he's never going to turn down the opportunity to play DJ! Thanks so much for your love and support!
