On October 4, 2026, we’re lacing up our shoes for something bigger than a finish line. We’re running the Portland Half-Marathon for our friend Des, who is courageously battling breast cancer.
This year hasn’t been easy. Treatments, surgeries, appointments. It’s a marathon in its own right. So we’re forming a team to run 13.1 miles in her honor and raise $4,000 to support her through this fight.
We’re looking for sponsors to “claim” a mile of the course. You can sponsor one mile or several, and be part of every step we take toward the finish line. Each mile represents strength, hope, and the power of community rallying behind someone we love.
If Des has ever made you smile, encouraged you, or shown up when it mattered, this is our chance to show up for her.
Let’s carry her name across that finish line together.
