Hi friends,

On April 4th, I’ll be running the Crescent City Classic 10K in New Orleans. It’s been a while since I’ve raced, and I’ll be honest — I’m not as fast or competitive as I once was. But this run isn’t about time or placement.

This year, I’m running as a charity runner for Manning Children’s Hospital, supporting the incredible work they do for children and families when they need it most.

Manning Children’s provides life-saving care, advanced treatments, and compassion to kids facing serious medical challenges — and to parents navigating moments no family ever expects. Every dollar raised helps ensure that these children receive the care, support, and hope they deserve.

I’m asking for your support not because I’m chasing a personal record, but because this cause truly matters. Whether it’s $5, $20, or simply sharing this page, it all adds up and makes a real impact.

Thank you for supporting me, cheering me on, and helping make a difference — one mile at a time.

With gratitude,

Thomas
