47th TCS London Marathon

· London, United Kingdom

The 47th TCS London Marathon — 26.2 miles through the heart of London, from Greenwich to The Mall, passing some of the most iconic landmarks in the world. I’ll be running in support of two incredible causes: The Lord’s Taverners, which helps young people with disabilities and those facing disadvantage through recreational opportunities across the UK, and Mass General Brigham’s Caring for a Cure, which supports patients and families through awareness, resources, and research. I’ll be running in support of Caring for a Cure in memory of my father. Every dollar donated to either fundraiser will also be matched by my corporate sponsors, so your gift will go twice as far.

130th Boston Marathon — April 21, 2025

Marathon26.2 miBib #28255

130th Boston Marathon

· Hopkinton to Boston, MA

The one that started it all. Running the 130th Boston Marathon as bib #28255 was a bucket-list moment years in the making. The energy from Hopkinton to Boylston Street is unlike anything else in running — the crowds, the hills, the history. I raised over $15,575 for Fenway Health, which provides exceptional, accessible care to the LGBTQ+ community and all people in Boston. Crossing that finish line was one of the proudest moments of my life.

Space Coast Half Marathon

· Cocoa, FL

The Space Coast Half Marathon is one of Florida's most iconic races — a flat, fast course along the Indian River Lagoon with views of the Kennedy Space Center on the horizon. Running 13.1 miles through Brevard County in November is about as good as it gets for weather and scenery. A great tune-up race as training builds toward bigger goals.

Firecracker 5K

· Boca Raton, FL

Independence Day at sunrise — the Firecracker 5K is one of Boca Raton's most beloved holiday traditions. This race supports the Boca Raton Police Athletic League, the Police Foundation, and Mission United through the United Way of Palm Beach County. Running for community, for service, and for the people who keep our neighborhoods safe. A sweaty, patriotic, and proud way to start the 4th of July.

Memorial Day Apple Pie 5K — May 25, 2026

Memorial Day Apple Pie 5K

· Boca Raton, FL

Honoring Memorial Day the right way — lacing up for K9s for Warriors, an organization that pairs trained service dogs with veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma. The apple pie at the finish line was a bonus, but the real reward was running for the men and women who've given so much. A meaningful race on a meaningful day.

Love Wins 5K

One of the most joyful races I've run. The Love Wins 5K supports Front Runners, an LGBTQ+ friendly running and walking group that builds community through sport. The energy at this race is warm, welcoming, and full of pride. Running for inclusion and belonging — that's what this sport is all about. Love wins on and off the course.

Fort Lauderdale Half Marathon

· Fort Lauderdale, FL

Valentine's Day on the Fort Lauderdale waterfront — 13.1 miles along one of the most scenic courses in South Florida. Running a half marathon is always a great training benchmark, and this one delivered with ocean views, a supportive crowd, and perfect February weather. A strong effort and a great day to be out on the roads.

Diplo's Run Club 5K

· Miami, FL

Running with Diplo's Run Club in Miami was an experience unlike any other 5K. Thousands of runners, incredible music, and an electric atmosphere from start to finish. This one was pure fun — a reminder that running doesn't always have to be serious. The Miami energy was contagious and the post-race vibes were unmatched.

43rd Annual Boca Raton 5K

· Boca Raton, FL

A perfect way to close out the year — the 43rd Annual Boca Raton 5K in support of Feeding South Florida. This local race draws a great community of runners and walkers all coming together for a cause that hits close to home. Feeding South Florida fights hunger across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. A fast, flat course and a feel-good finish.
