Dear Family & Friends,

I?m excited to share that I?ll be running in the Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend, supporting Special Olympics Florida?and I need your help to reach my fundraising goal!

This race has been a dream of mine for five years. As a first responder, I work with people from all walks of life, and I?ve seen firsthand the power of inclusion, resilience, and community. Supporting Special Olympics is my way of giving back?because everyone, at every stage of life, deserves the opportunity to push boundaries and accomplish something extraordinary.

Running has been my personal outlet?physically, emotionally, and mentally. It hasn?t been easy, but every step I take reminds me that we can all do hard things. I?m dedicating this run not just to crossing the finish line, but to raising awareness and funds for an incredible cause that gives individuals with intellectual disabilities a chance to thrive.

Please consider making a donation today. Every dollar brings me closer to my goal?and more importantly, helps build communities of acceptance and inclusion. Whether it?s $10 or $100, your support truly makes a difference.

Let?s make this happen?together.
With gratitude,
Hayley Thornton
