I’m running the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon for The Phoenix, a sober active community that quite literally helps people save their own lives through movement, connection, and purpose.
I’m celebrating sobriety, recovery, and the belief that we don’t have to do life alone. The Phoenix provides free sober activities workouts, hikes, races, and community to people choosing a life without substances. It’s not charity; it’s empowerment.
Recovery isn’t easy. It’s uncomfortable, humbling, and requires showing up even when you don’t feel like it kind of like running 13.1 miles

Fit to be King
I started showing up to The Phoenix because someone I loved was struggling and I didn't know what else to do. I thought I was there to help. Turns out I needed it just as much. Recovery doesn't happen in isolation. It happens in a gym at 6am when someone you just met is cheering you on. It happens on a trail when you're too tired to think about anything but putting one foot in front of the other. It happens in a parking lot after a workout when the conversation goes longer than it should and nobody wants to leave. That's what The Phoenix builds. Not just programs. Not just events. The kind of community that makes you want to show up even when you don't feel like it, and keeps you coming back because something in you knows it matters. I'm fundraising for The Giving Bridge because I've seen what happens when people have access to this community and what happens when they don't. The difference is real and it's worth fighting for. If you've been touched by addiction, recovery, or the people navigating both, you already know why this matters. If you haven't, trust me when I say your donation does more than you think. Every dollar goes toward keeping The Phoenix free and accessible for anyone with 48 hours of sobriety. No barriers, no cost, no catching up. Just show up. Help me build the bridge.
