This past January, I traveled to the most MAGICAL place on earth to cheer on my friend that was running the 2026 Walt Disney World Dopey Challenge with The Kyle Pease Foundation.

For those that are new here, The Kyle Pease Foundation is dedicated to creating awareness and raise funds to promote success for improving the lives of people with disabilities through sports and competition.

Leading up to race weekend I witnessed my friend train many *MANY* hours for these races (5k, 10k, half marathon & full marathon) and supporting her and the athletes she was pushing was important to me so I did not hesitate to book the trip.

I was fully prepared to fulfill my role as #1 super-fan of The Kyle Pease Foundation athletes, but nothing could have prepared me for the pure MAGIC I witnessed in every race. From the joy on the faces of the athletes rolling down Main Street in Magic Kingdom to the tears streaming down mine as I watched brothers, Kyle and Brent Pease achieve a sub 3-hour marathon, a goal 10 years in the making, proving what’s possible when inclusion leads the way.

This is where my story with the Kyle Pease Foundation begins. I will be creating more MAGIC at the 2027 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, running the half marathon as a push-assist teammate and witnessing the courage, joy and determination of these incredible athletes firsthand.

GIVE TODAY and support inclusion for athletes of all abilities, one mile at a time. All donations made through my fundraising link will go directly to the KPF, and helps support the in-chair athletes and their families at many events like the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend throughout the year.
