The time is finally here. The time to leave the comforts of the U.S. and start a new chapter in my life. The preparation for the World Race has been a long time coming for me, and its almost surreal to believe that I will be in Costa Rica just 24 hours from now!

I want to say thank you to all of those who have supported me and prayed for me over these last few months. I am already over 75% funded for the World Race, and this is truly a blessing that you and God have bestowed on me. Saying the words "thank you" just doesn't seem to encompass my gratitude right now. I wish I could reach out and give you all a big hug right now. Without you I would not be sitting in my hotel in Washington, D.C. with 50+ other Racers right now. We are all ready and eager to hit the ground running and show the world God's grace and love. Please continue to keep me, my team, and my squad in your prayers as we begin this journey. Thanks again!
