Hi everyone! This November I'll be running in the 2023 New York City Marathon as part of Team Hoyt, which aims to build the individual character, self-confidence, and self-esteem of America’s disabled young people through inclusion in all aspects of life.

The Hoyt Foundation started as a bond between Rick, and his father Dick, when Rick told his father that he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a Lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident. This race was just the beginning of what would become over 1,000 races completed, including marathons, duathlons and triathlons (6 of them being Ironman competitions). Also adding to their list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across the U.S. in 1992, completing a full 3,735 miles in 45 days.

I'm really excited to be running for such a great organization and be able to combine my love for running with a team that has had such an amazing impact on so many lives.

Thanks in advance for your support!
