I am excited to partner with Elite Total Fitness in Simpsonville, SC to raise awareness for substance abuse and mental health by running in the Mountain To Mainstreet Half Marathon!

I grew up in a home with a father that was a victim to both alcoholism and drug addiction. Living in this environment was very tough for myself and my family but has also created enormous motivation for me to use my platform, time, energy, and resources to give back and help those that are dealing with similar situations. I understand the pain and heartache that is caused seeing your loved one get consumed in these awful substances first hand. I am here to help serve others and express that there is so much more to life than falling into these detrimental practices and habits. There is HOPE! Please help me raise awareness and resources to fight against these addictions and provide aid to those that need our assistance. We can do this as a TEAM!

Keep Ambition In Mind,
