$16,823 towards $10,000

I lost my brother, Paul, to a fentanyl overdose in February 2020. Sadly, Paul's story isn't unique or even unusual; we lose more than 100,000 friends and family members to the opioid drug crisis every year in the United States.

Herren Project's mission is to support, inspire and empower those affected by substance use disorder. They are committed to walking with individuals, families and communities on their journeys to recovery, healing and overall wellness.

I'm running the six Abbott World Marathon Majors over six years in Paul's memory. Last year, Kirsten (big sister) and I ran the 125th Boston Marathon for Herren Project, raising more than $43,000 to help Herren provide services and support for people struggling with substance use disorder. This year I'm running on Herren Project's 2022 London Marathon team and I'd love your support. Please help if you can -- every donation is appreciated and will be put to good work.
