This year marks the 5th time in 15 years that I'll be running with the Challenge Aspen Marathon Team to raise funds for my favorite non-profit! By "creating possibilities for people with disabilities", Challenge Aspen provides life-changing opportunities to locals and visitors alike through a wide array of incredible programming.
In the early 2000's, I was lucky enough to attend an event at which Amanda Boxtel, co-founder of Challenge Aspen and 2018 CNN Hero, spoke about her ski accident that left her paralyzed. Amanda's courage, zest for life and desire to "give back" inspire me to this day.
In 2007, we lost our friend Chris Bove in a skiing accident. Chris was an avid volunteer with Challenge Aspen and is dearly missed.
So once again, I am honored to dig deep and run for all those who can't. I would be thrilled if you supported me in raising funds for Challenge Aspen!

I remember joining you in Budapest for my first Challenge Aspen marathon in 2007, my 1st marathon ever. It was so hard!!! And, I remember thinking how amazing you were then. Since then, we have run Iceland (2011) and Auckland (2015) together and each time, I think you are even more amazing. You continue to inspire me as you become stronger every year. I am so psyched that you’re going to Croatia and wish I was able to join you this year but I’ll be cheering you on from the US! I’m so glad that running is still a passion for you, even with getting into “mounten” biking. ☺️ ❤️ You! Good luck!
