Half of my crew that I run for every day....and always will!

My running buddy, my ride or die, my person, my real Best French Fry

Every donation tells me I'm not running this race alone. 💙 The miles I'm putting in are temporary, but the impact of autism research can last a lifetime. That's what keeps me lacing up my shoes and working toward the 2027 Goofy Challenge. If you've donated, shared my page, or offered words of encouragement—thank you. You are part of this journey, and together we're helping create more opportunities, more understanding, and more hope for individuals and families affected by autism. One step. One mile. One act of kindness at a time. 💙🏃‍♀️ #RunForAutism #GoofyChallenge #BestFrenchFry

Some days the miles come easy. Some days your body reminds you to slow down. Today, my hip said "rest," so that's exactly what I'm doing. While I didn't get my run in, my commitment to this journey hasn't changed. Every step I take is for a purpose—to support autism research and help create a brighter future for individuals and families affected by autism. Thank you for following along, encouraging me, and supporting this mission. Even on the days I can't run, we're still moving this cause forward together. 💙 #RunForAutism #GoofyChallenge #BestFrenchFry

Day by day, mile by mile. 💙 Some days are easier than others, but every step reminds me why I started this journey. I'm training for the 2027 Goofy Challenge to raise money for the Organization for Autism Research—a cause that's incredibly close to my heart. Thank you to everyone who's donated, shared my page, or simply cheered me on. Your encouragement keeps me moving, even on the hard days. One step closer. One mile stronger. One "Best French Fry" at a time. 🏃‍♀️✨

This is the only charater he will go up too. And he blushes everytime!

Back Dated post..... July 2nd Day 1 of training for Goofy Challege ✨ Pixie Dust Pulse: Chasing Magic, One Mile at a Time ✨ Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about life, getting older, and what it really means to live. For so long, I’ve been in survival mode—working, taking care of everyone else, and just making it through each day. But I don’t want to just exist anymore. I want to challenge myself. I want to be healthier. I want to do more than just maintain. Over the last few years, I’ve lost almost 100 pounds. And while I’m incredibly proud of that, I’ve realized something… I’ve gotten comfortable. And growth doesn’t happen in comfort. So I’m doing something that feels impossible for me. I signed up for the Goofy Challenge. And if you know me, you know how wild that sounds—because I am NOT a runner. Never have been. Never wanted to be. Running has never been “my thing.” But that’s exactly why I’m doing it. Because I want my kids to see that age does not define you. Fear does not define you. Your past does not define you. I want them to know that even when something feels impossible, you can still choose to chase it. That’s what Pixie Dust Pulse is about. It’s where grit meets magic. Where heart meets hustle. Where healing meets purpose. A reminder that sometimes all it takes is a little pixie dust, a strong pulse, and the willingness to keep moving forward. And I’m not just running for me. I’m running for autism—a cause that continues to touch my life more and more every day. Every mile I run will have purpose. Every step will mean something bigger than me. This journey is about choosing growth. Choosing health. Choosing discomfort. Choosing purpose. And proving to myself—and my kids—that impossible is just where the story begins. Follow along as I train, struggle, grow, and chase this dream with a little pixie dust and a whole lot of pulse. ✨💙 Today, I did a 3K...which is HUGE for me. No I did not run the whole thing. But it's a start!!!

Best French Fry was born from my son’s beautiful way of saying “best friends forever.” What sounds like a simple phrase became something much bigger—a reminder of love, connection, and seeing the world differently. This page follows my journey to the Disney Marathon as I train, stay accountable, raise money for autism, and prove that even the hardest miles are worth it when you know your why. Heart. Purpose. Pixie Dust. ✨🍟
