Once again, I am setting out on the journey that is marathon training. It is crazy that just 3 years ago, I ran the half-marathon after convincing myself that I hated running.

Like the last two years, I am running the Dick's Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon to raise money for the Pittsburgh Promise.

Katie and I welcomed Noah David into our lives on December 3rd, and Isaac will be starting pre-K this coming fall. It is crazy how our family keeps growing which is my reason for raising money for the Pittsburgh Promise.

The Pittsburgh Promise is a scholarship organization that gives Pittsburgh Public School graduates up to $40,000 for college. With Isaac and Noah growing up on the North Side and attending Pittsburgh Public Schools, hopefully, they will both be Promise Scholars!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Please consider donating to the Pittsburgh Promise to help Pittsburgh Public students continue to dream big and work hard.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
