Amount Raised:
I’m running the Runningman Festival on a heart that was literally given a second chance. At 27 years old, I survived open-heart surgery and received a refurbished heart valve that changed my life forever. What once felt impossible became my purpose — to keep moving, keep growing, and encourage others to never give up on the life God has given them.
Today, as a husband, father, runner, and man of faith, I’m running not just for myself, but for people who still need hope, support, and opportunities to feel seen and included.
I’m honored to support KultureCity, an organization dedicated to creating sensory-inclusive spaces and experiences for individuals with invisible disabilities and sensory needs. Their mission helps families feel welcomed, understood, and empowered in places where they may otherwise feel left out.
Every donation — big or small — helps make a difference. My goal is to raise at least $2,500 – but I hope to exceed this!
Together we can turn this run into something far greater than a finish line.
Thank you for supporting this journey and for helping me run on God’s refurbished heart for those who need it.
