I’m supporting Understood for All, Inc..

For most of my adult life, I lived with undiagnosed ADHD—aware that my mind worked differently, but without the language to fully understand why. Over time, I developed my own coping mechanisms, and movement became one of the most foundational.

Running helps me focus, regulate my emotions, process my thoughts, and create clarity when my mind feels chaotic. It simplifies things. Each mile gives me the space to return to myself and move forward with a little more balance.

That is why I am proud to fundraise for Understood.org, an organization dedicated to supporting the 1 in 5 children with learning and thinking differences like ADHD and dyslexia. Every child deserves to understand how their mind works and to have access to tools that help them feel seen, supported, and capable—not years later, but while they are still learning who they are.

By supporting my run, you are helping Understood continue providing free, expert-backed resources to children and families navigating learning differences. I am running for the minds that think differently, for the families searching for answers, and for a future where every child has the support they need to thrive.
