Hey there! On Sunday, May 17, I will be walking to raise awareness and funds for an organization and a community that has a really special place in my heart.

Friendship Circle of Connecticut works every day to create meaningful friendships between kids, teens, and young adults with special needs and dedicated volunteers, offering social and recreational opportunities that might not otherwise be available. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful these connections are.

One of the biggest reasons this cause means so much to me is my relationship with Dori, who is 5 years old. I see him every Sunday at Children’s Circle, where we spend time playing and doing different activities together. Over time, we’ve built a real connection, and it’s so meaningful to me that he feels comfortable with me. Watching him have fun, grow, and just be himself is something I truly look forward to every week.

Please consider supporting this amazing organization and the impact it has on kids like Dori and so many others. Anything you can give to support our walk/run would mean so much and truly make a difference. Thank you so much!
