Relay for Rachael! April 26, 2026

 It's that time! 

16th annual Relay for Rachael! Sunday, April 26th at the Big Sur Marathon!

This year we have 6 relay teams running fast, training hard, and raising funds! Plus two full marathoners and a runner running 100 miles in April! All money raised goes towards my caregivers who help me get through my days. 

It’s been a challenging few months, with multiple surgeries and recovery. Another surgery and recovery are scheduled for a few months from now. Amidst these physical challenges, I’m focusing on healing and prioritizing my health.


Unfortunately, we hit a deer while driving my wheelchair-accessible vehicle a couple weeks ago, leaving me without a car. Navigating this situation has been difficult, especially when it comes to attending doctor’s appointments, running errands, and managing my gallery. Fortunately, I’ve been gradually finding resources in the community to help me get the necessary transportation.


The scariest part of the accident, the first one I’ve experienced since my spinal cord injury, was that my chest strap came undone, and I hit my head. I was very sore for a few days and kind of sore for a couple of weeks, but I’m feeling better. Not to mention the poor deer, oh dear.


I'm catching up on many things on my to-do list and doing the best I can with these challenges. As always, I am so grateful for your continued support, my community, family, and friends. I couldn't do it without you.
