52.4 Miles of Love – My Fundraising Journey
This year, I've joined the 2026 52.4 Team, and I'm training to complete four half marathons in four weeks. It's a challenge that will push me physically and mentally, but every mile I run has a purpose far greater than crossing a finish line.
Over the past few years, my faith has become more than something I believe—it's become the foundation for how I want to live. God has been teaching me that love isn't just something we talk about; it's something we put into action. That's why I'm running: to help provide hope, care, and opportunity for children living with HIV/AIDS in India.
I'm inviting my family, friends, and local businesses to partner with me by sponsoring this journey. Your support isn't just helping me complete four races—it's helping provide life-changing resources for children who deserve the chance to grow up healthy, safe, and loved.
For the past 19 years, the incredible community behind 52.4 has raised more than $1.95 million to support these children. One of the things I love most about this organization is its commitment to making every dollar count. I personally cover all of my race expenses, so 100% of every donation goes directly to the children and the programs that serve them.
There will be difficult training days, sore muscles, and moments when I want to quit. During those moments, I'll remember why I'm running. Every mile represents a child whose life can be changed because people like you chose to care.
Thank you for believing in this mission and for considering a donation. Whether you give financially, share this fundraiser with others, or simply encourage me along the way, you're becoming part of something much bigger than a race. Together, we can bring hope, healing, and love to children who need it most.
About Fiftytwo.four
Fiftytwo.four is a 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit built on the generosity of volunteers and donors who believe that every child deserves hope.
Because our board of directors covers the organization's minimal administrative expenses through designated donations, 100% of the funds raised through events like 52.4 go directly to our partner organization in India.
These funds are used wherever the need is greatest for children affected by HIV/AIDS. Over the years, your generosity has helped provide:
- Medical care and life-saving treatment
- Nutritious food
- Education and school expenses
- Essential medications
- Construction and improvements to children's homes and care facilities
- Transportation to safely care for and serve the children
At its heart, Fiftytwo.four is simply a community of ordinary people who believe that love is best demonstrated through action. Together, we're helping provide not only the necessities of life, but also hope, dignity, and a brighter future for children who need it most.
Thank you for being part of that story.
