ALL ABOUT THE DOPEY CHALLENGE

Those who know me well know that there are a few things in life I am very passionate about - Running, Disney, and a heart for childhood cancer. Well the Dopey Challenge is an opportunity for me to combine all of these things, challenge and push myself farther than ever before while supporting a cause I believe in - the American Childhood Cancer Organization.

​

So what is The Dopey Challenge? Dopey is one of runDisney's racing events, and is the most elite and exhausting event comprised of 48.3 miles over 4 days. That's a 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, and a full Marathon. This will not only be my first Dopey, but will be my first ever Marathon! And what better way than to do it at Disney World, supporting the ACCO.

​

Now how is this supporting ACCO? Well I have joined the #GoGold team with several other runners. Together, we are raising money for the organization and running in honor of all the amazing kids out there battling cancer every single day. My personal goal for the challenge is $1,500, but I hope to raise even more than that. Please be aware, this money is not for my trip to Disney, it does not cover any of my expenses, but it is purely for the American Childhood Cancer Organization. 

​

Over the next year, I will be sharing my journey in preparation, training, and fundraising for the big weekend in January where I will complete my first marathon and first Dopey Challenge! Please follow along with me, and support me in whatever way you can! Thank you all for the love and support I know I will have along the way!
