After proudly serving 17 years in the U.S. Air Force and 3 years in the United States Space Force, I’ve had the honor of wearing the uniform and standing beside some of the most selfless individuals this country has to offer. Now, as a retiree, my mission continues, but in a different way.

This August, I’m joining the 50 Mile March team to raise funds and awareness for a cause close to my heart: supporting veterans who have fallen on hard times. Too many of our brothers and sisters return home only to face a new kind of battle, one against homelessness, mental health struggles, and lack of access to essential care.

I’m fundraising to help build a purpose-driven community where veterans in need can find real support, resources, and hope. This isn’t about handouts, this is about a hand up. A chance for our fellow service members to get back on their feet, regain their footing, and rebuild their lives with dignity.

Every step I take in this 50-mile journey is for them. And with your support, we can help make this vision a reality.

If you're able, please consider donating. Your contribution can truly change a life.
