THE JOURNEY
WHAT AM I TRYING TO DO?
1. Raise $50,000 for incredible nonprofits in Tampa Bay
2. Motivate and inspire others to go for their personal best
Something I discovered about myself over the years is I LOVE long distance fitness challenges, but I found that I don’t need to be signed up for races to continue to push myself.
So with that in mind! Lol, I have always wanted to raise money through Tampa Bay is Awesome for amazing local non-profits, but never had any idea that really excited me…until now!
Each challenge will benefit 2 non-profits with similar missions, one in Pinellas and one in Hillsborough. 🤙

THE TRAINING PARTNER
Dom and I have been keeping each other accountable to getting after it since 2010. He may not be there for all these miles, but they wouldn’t be possible without the thousands of miles we have put in together.

THE SAG MAN
A good Huckleberry is always up for whatever! You have to appreciate someone who says “I’m sure not running 100 miles with you, but I will make sure you have what you need when you need it.” Thanks Dean!
