I'm proud, humbled and excited to run the 127th Boston Marathon to raise money for The Hoyt Foundation. I run with Team Hoyt Arizona pushing my son, Luke, and other assisted athletes so they can participate in running and racing.

Rick and Dick Hoyt paved the way for athletes and families like ours. To follow in their footsteps is always special, to RUN from their Bronze Statue in Hopkinton to the finish line on Boylston Street is inspirational.

"YES YOU CAN!" is the Team Hoyt motto. The Hoyt Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to building individual character, self-confidence and self-esteem of disabled young people through inclusion.

Please help me cross the finish line on Boylston Street by donating to my fundraising project on GivenGain.

THANK YOU!
