"Birds are wonderful. Running is wonderful. Running for birds? Wonderful! I love all birds, but raptors have a special place in my heart. Running is a relatively new hobby, only having previously completed turkey trots and fun runs from time to time. I love seeing new feathered friends and now it’s time to get a marathon off the bucket list."

"I’m running to connect my love of running with a broader purpose. Conservation matters to me because so much of what I value—health, community, and time outdoors—is deeply tied to the natural world. Raptors represent strength, balance, and the health of entire ecosystems. Protecting them means protecting the environments we all depend on.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible range of species across rehabilitation, zookeeping, education, and falconry. Each path has shaped me, but working one-on-one with raptors in their world is indescribable. I’m honored to be heading back to Honolulu to run the marathon—this time on behalf of a charity that’s deeply meaningful to me.”
