We can't thank you enough for helping make this dream a reality

As long as I can remember I've always wanted to conquer a feat I considered "great". I had no idea what it would be but I wanted it to seem nearly impossible. During my last trip to Alaska with my good friends Tommy and Tyler we ventured 500 miles up the Dalton Highway to see the top of the world. Along the way we met multiple people testing their limits in different ways and I began asking them questions about their journey. A few days later Ty and I returned to Venice Beach, CA to Tyler's apartment where he, his wife Lex and myself took an afternoon walk and began brainstorming. After 30 minutes of sitting on a bench it was decided that in a years time I will be running the length of Alaska. Time has passed, ideas have come and gone but the goal has remained constant.

At 29 years old I can confidently say a large portion of my life has been spent in my comfort zone. What many don't realize is that with that sought after comfort comes a suppressed feeling of being stuck in neutral. Leaving us with nothing but wasted potential and what ifs. I one day realized there is more to life than punching a time card to pay your bills. We have one go at all of this. One chance to chase our dreams. They are not unattainable but they are impossible if you do not set aside the time to make them happen. We all have the potential to do so, it is just lying Dormant within us and it awakens when we realize the dream doesn't come to you. The dream is what lies on the other side of discomfort and finding your limits. The view from the top of the mountain is what makes the man leave the valley, knowing the path is a grueling climb. Leave your valley, make the climb. The greatness waits for you too.

My running journey is not like that of many others. Not due to accolades or an impressive resume. But quite the opposite. I've always hated running. Despite having played sports my entire life I never once ran under an 8 minute mile. My first road race was a local summer 5k that i told myself I was overqualified to run as a college lacrosse player. So training wasn't needed. I spent the week following the race working 40 hours of manual labor with severe chest pains I brushed off as cramps because well, my doctor had no openings until Friday so that was my diagnosis for the time being. Come Friday I was told by my doctor to drive myself to the emergency room for an X-ray that would then reveal my lung was 60 percent collapsed. So I took off my work clothes, swapped for a gown and swore off running for good.

It wasn't until 7 years later when I found myself in a state I can only describe as "feeling like I was stuck in neutral". No real direction or purpose driving me. I was checking boxes. 40 hour work weeks, going to the gym and always finding the bars on the weekend. I always knew there was more to achieve but I chose the easy route of comfort. A constant nagging thought of what could be if I truly dedicated myself to something eventually drove me to the point of knowing I needed change. I did not know what that change was but something told me start with the hard stuff. I threw on a pair of sneakers and in the dead of a New England winter, stepped out the front door and started to run. I made it a quarter mile before needing to stop. Humbling , but a much needed lesson. I felt defeated and ready to give up on this newfound desire for a better version of life. the next day something drew me back so I again headed out that door and told myself to just go one mailbox further than yesterday. then next day it was another mailbox. Within two years of picking mailboxes I have now run two half marathons, a full marathon, a 31 mile ultra marathon and come October 19th and 20th I will be running both the Hartford Marathon and Baystate Marathon back to back. Building the foundation to run the length of Alaska.
