My Story

1 Sep 2025

My story started quite a few yrs ago really. I watched my best friend Shawn battle this disease multiple times. The strength and courage he showed was simply amazing, life changing for me. This experience put me into a mission that I didn't realize I'd want or need. Here I am heading into year 7 having raised over $22,000 thru friends and family and been blessed more than I could count thru this journey.
