On May 17 2026, I’m taking on Ironman Chattanooga 70.3—a 70.3-mile race that requires endurance, grit, and relentless forward motion.

I’m racing to raise $30,000 for Equality Virginia, an organization i'm proud to lead, because LGBTQ+ Virginians—especially transgender people and their families—are facing sustained political attacks and real harm at the hands of the federal government. Equality Virginia is on the front lines to advance protections and progress at the state level, and that work takes resources.

An Ironman 70.3 includes:

1.2 miles swimming
56 miles biking
13.1 miles running

Some miles are easy peasy. Some are a suffer fest. Some are powered purely by never giving up.

Advocacy is the same. Progress is built mile by mile, through policy work, civic engagement, organizing, coalition-building, and showing up for our community even when it’s hard.

This race is one day, but the fight for equality is every day.

My goal is to raise $30,000 to strengthen Equality Virginia's ability to respond to anti-LGBTQ+ federal attacks, advocate at the General Assembly, organize and support LGBTQ+ communities statewide, defend trans youth and their families.

Every dollar helps carry our work forward.

To make this fun—and to keep me moving—I’m offering a couple of incentives:

Donate $150 or more and you get to choose a music video to add to my indoor bike training playlist. Your song will fuel hours-long training rides, be watched (probably on repeat) while I question my life choices, and carry your energy straight into race day. After you donate, I’ll follow up with instructions on how to submit your video pick.
Donate $250 or more and you can write a short message—funny, inspiring, chaotic-good, deeply motivational, or just weird—that I’ll put on a sign to see during the run portion of the race. Your words will be with me when the miles get hard. After you donate, I’ll reach out to collect your message.

However you show up, you’re helping power Equality Virginia’s work at a critical moment.

I’ll carry this community with me through every mile in Chattanooga next May. Thank you for believing in Equality Virginia—and for helping prove that when things get hard, we keep going.
