Here we go again, This time with more challenges and lots more miles. I am running 48.6 miles in 4 days . I will be challenging myself to complete the Dopey Challenge in Walt Disney World. Its a 5k, 10k, Half Marathon , and a Full marathon. Sadly, we all know someone affected by Autism so I am honoured to be representing such a great charity. Please help me support Organization for Autism Research by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause! 

This will be the hardest race yet but I am up for the challenge and appreciate all the support I can get .
