On October 13, 2024, I will be running in the Chicago Marathon as a participant of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). TAPS provides direct support to families who have been impacted by a death in the military regardless of geography or circumstance. TAPS holds a special place in my heart, as our family directly benefited from several of the resources for surviving military families in the wake of Tyler's tragic death, and in the years since.

The funds I raise will flow directly into TAPS programming which supports these families through an amazing network of resources, seminars and publications. TAPS provides these services at no charge to survivors from all branches of the service, including Reserves and National Guard. TAPS’ programs and services are available not only for immediate family, but also for extended family and friends. Please help me honor our fallen heroes by supporting me in this effort.  No donation is too big or too small. 

Thank you!
