First Relay💜
First Charity Year for Best Buddies💜
First Time I’ve ran the closed streets of my neighborhood. 💜
First Time I’ve laughed and cried so many times. Those Rally notes are comical 💜😂

Thank you to everyone who donated, supported me and my friends and my Team, who added songs to my playlist or listened to me worry about my race day fit. You were all with me today. Thank you💜

Introducing Buddies & Blisters 😆👟

Listen, we already talked about it and none of us plan on coming in first place 🥇 so if you see us out there, don’t tell Nike that we might be walking at times!

After walking the half marathon last year, and then having one of the hardest health years of my entire life, I am really excited to partake in the Relay and especially running through the neighborhoods that my dad would take me to go watch the Marathon when I was a little kid!

Talk about a full circle moment.

I’m really looking forward to enjoying the energy that Pittsburgh brings to this weekend, it might be one of my most favorite times of the year.

I’m looking to hit my goal of $1,000 so if you have anything that you can spare after you bought a $40 hotdog at the NFL draft, send it my way and support an amazing cause like Best Buddies! 🫶
