Donate to support inclusion opportunities for the incredible athletes with The Kyle Pease Foundation!

I had the opportunity to run with & push for the Kyle Pease Foundation at the 2026 Disney Dopey Challenge Weekend, and it was the most soul-filling 4 days of my life. So much so that I am doing it again in 2027!

The Kyle Pease Foundation strives to spread awareness of inclusion in sports (and all areas of life) and provides fun, challenging and unique opportunities to their in-chair athletes and their families. All donations made through my fundraising link will go directly to KPF, and helps support the incredible KPF athletes (and their families) at events like Disney and throughout the year.

January 2027 will bring another 48.6 miles (5K,10K, 1/2 Marathon & Full Marathon) with KPF, and I genuinely CAN’T WAIT to push another rockstar athlete through the finish line at Disney and show others on the course what inclusion looks like as we roll by. Being able to share the joy of a race day with an in-chair athlete that would not otherwise have the ability to experience the event from the course is immensely impactful and joyful – yes, for me… but also for the athlete in the chair. Racing at Disney is on another level, and provides such a unique environment for the in-chair athletes who get to experience the magic of Disney throughout the entire race. The smile on the athletes faces when they pass magical landmarks and meet the official Disney characters at stops along the way is absolutely magical!

Once you see inclusion & feel how powerful it impacts those around you, you can't ignore it. Any amount of donation, no matter how small, will go a long way to helping me meet my fundraising goal for The Kyle Pease Foundation.
