A few more photos from yesterday’s Run The Weekend event.

I just want to say; we are nothing without people. We can do a lot of things in life alone; but we will always always always go farther if we go together. And not just farther; but we will be better too. We will grow and sharpen each other as we learn to connect in community.

Yesterday a whole group of strangers got together, ran, shared conversation, food, a movie, and also raised money for charity. Collectively we donated $300 to To Write Love on Her Arms from our community ice cream run and altogether since I committing to run on their 2026 NYC marathon team we’ve raised over 3k.

What’s most important to me though is that all of this is a connection point for people to meet each other where they are. These runs and meals we’ve done this past year for “run the weekend” is simply more than anything, a way to hold space for people.

To do anything worthwhile and successful; we must meet each other where we are. And yesterday was exactly that.

Thank you markangelo.jpg for being so talented and capturing this event. Thank you to everyone who came and got out of your comfort zones. I’m better for it. We all are.

An update on today’s Run The Weekend event, thank you, and everything in between.

We raised over $300 for To Write Love on Her Arms and passed 3k as a whole since I began fundraising a few months back. That’s 3k raised to literally help others get access to mental health resources.

When I committed to running on their 2026 New York City marathon team I didn’t know what to expect.

Not knowing what to expect has been most of my life at this point. I’ve spent 13 years doing freelance projects and every day I throw things at the wall and a lot of times,
Somehow they stick.

A year ago I started “Run The Weekend” with my friend markangelo.jpg and somehow, a year later we are still doing events.

I just want to say, if you have a goal or any dreams, put them out into the world. Show up and keep showing up.

Tonight’s event was amazing. Strangers and friends from all walks of life showed up. We ran together. We made ice cream. We watched a film. We talked.

Thank you to SMOKE & DONUTS BBQ for hosting tonight’s event.

Thank you to Cinnabar and Hoka Orlando Run Club and It’s Ya Gurl, Phat Ash and Sampaguita Filipino - American Ice Cream and Michael Æther Cole and NÜRA Chiropractic | Orlando for all showing up and sharing your time and talent.

And thank you to my friend Jonathan Michael for creating the idea of an “ice cream social” and wanting to see it come to life to bring together community and raise funds. It’s really truly mind boggling.

Ive still got 3 plus more months of training and about 2k to raise. So; I won’t be quiet anytime soon. But again, I just wanted to thank you.

I love you. Each of you.

Beyond excited to remind everyone that Run The Weekend’s community event is this Saturday at 5:15pm at SMOKE & DONUTS BBQ!!

It’s called “Ice Cream Social”.

It’s free and it’s meant to raise funds for the Non Profit “To write love on her arms” and support David Lawrence as he gears up to run on their 2026 New York City Marathon team!

It includes a 45 minute community run where we will literally churn ice cream in our back packs while we run.

There will be a film screening by Cinnabar.

A shoe demo by Hoka Orlando Run Club

Live music by earth tones 💫 orchestral indie pop and so much more.

Scroll through the carousel to see everything! Please rsvp ahead of time at the link in our bios!

Here is the event schedule for the evening! Please make sure to bring a backpack if you plan on making ice cream! Also, try and rsvp before hand!

Who is David and what is “To Write Love on Her Arms?” Please watch the video!

This is Michael Cole! He will be leading us through a warm up before we start our community run!

This is Jamie and Renee!

20 years ago Jamie started “To Write Love on Her Arms” to help his friend Renee.

After our community run we will sit in the parking lot to screen a short film recapping TWLOHA’s 20 years of work!!!

Meet Zack! He is an incredible Dj and will be spinning vinyl throughout the evening!

NÜRA Chiropractic will be popped up as well and are offering free health assessments for anyone that makes a donation to TWLOHA!

My “Amazing” T shirt is now live on my site!

It’s been 4 “Amazing” months of going out and celebrating the stories of strangers and I thought launching this T shirt would be an incredible way to celebrate.

It’s 100% cotton and designed by the incredible Juan Sostre and most certainly guaranteed to make you look and feel “Amazing!”

It’s $45 and includes free shipping to ANYWHERE in America. Please go get one and support this project. I promise you’ll look “Amazing”!
