Stepping outside my comfort zone and embracing the challenge. I'm running the NYC Marathon for someone who inspires me every single day-my nephew, Tommy. He's a warrior, facing life's challenges with strength and resilience, and I want him to know that I see him, I love him, and I'll fight through every mile just like he does everyday.

This race isn't just about crossing a finish line; it's about showing up, pushing through, and setting an example for my kids-Michael, Taylor, and Nick. I want them to see what it means to chase big goals, to push past limits, and to use those moments to do something BIGGER than yourself. When you take on something hard, you don't just do it for yourself-you do it for others.This is a personal challenge that money can't buy.

Every step is for Tommy. Every dollar raised goes toward supporting and empowering those on the Autism spectrum. It's going to be tough, but I know he'll get me through. If you can donate, share, or simply cheer us on, it would mean the world.

Thank you, guys-let's do this for Tommy. #ForTommy #AutismAwareness #NYCMarathon
