My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention
Men's health

I'm taking on my first marathon for a deeply personal reason: to support men’s mental health. Running 26.2 miles is daunting, but it pales compared to the mental struggles many men face in silence every day. I’ve seen first-hand the toll that mental health challenges can take on individuals and their loved ones. Too often, men feel pressured to appear “strong” and “in control,” making it difficult to ask for help. This stigma can be isolating, sometimes with tragic consequences. I’m running to raise awareness, to open conversations, and to break down the barriers that keep men from seeking the support they need.

Supporting my marathon is a way of investing in crucial mental health programs that reach out to men in need. You’re not only supporting my physical journey but also joining a larger mission to bring hope and healing to men everywhere.

Please consider donating to this cause. Together, we can make a real difference in men’s lives. Thank you so much for any support you can give—no amount is too small. Let’s show that nobody has to go through this alone.

Decided to jump on the running trend and enter my first marathon in the not so familiar city of Florence, Italy.
