I will be running the 2027 London Marathon in honor of my brother Ronnie! Ronnie is someone who embraces the true meaning of running, he has shown everyone around him that when you put your mind to something, you can do anything! I have truly been honored to have him by my side, who despite many challenges in his way, has always been resilient and persevered. Now it's time to show him the same energy!

Please help me support Organization for Autism Research in his name by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. I chose to support this organization because OAR's mission helps to create and fosterer an environment where all are welcome. This goal aligns with the beauty I have seen in Running, one that shines in bright lights when people of different backgrounds, abilities and sizes come together! So please join me in supporting this wonderful organization! Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause!
