Dance Marathon

Back in 1997, my parents received some devastating news. They were told that my brother Griffen and I were suffering from twin to twin transfusion syndrome. Due to this there was an 80% chance that they would lose one or both babies, or if we did make it to term we would probably be born with disabilities. However, with experimental medical intervention a miracle occurred, and at 35 weeks my parents gave birth to beautiful healthy twin boys on March 10th, 1998. 

As I continue to get older, I continue to feel more and more grateful to be healthy and have my twin brother by my side to enjoy life. Therefore,  I began raising money for Dance Marathon because I felt connected toward creating miracles for children in need. 

Over the past five years, I have raised over $20,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The money you help me raise is used to help pay for equipment, treatment, and research to help children with incurable diseases. To help me raise money,  I often incentivize my audience through giveaways and more in trade for a donation or a re-share. 

 

Transkids Purple Rainbow Foundation

The TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation (TKPRF) aims to enhance the lives of transgender and gender non-conforming youth and their families. We strive to create more acceptance and understanding in society through a message of unconditional love, awareness, and tolerance.

Families need to support their children and allow them to grow-up as their authentic selves. It is our goal to educate and enlighten society to seek fair and equal treatment for all transgender youth.

I currently help to raise awareness for the charity by running the website and the charities social media. If you are transgender and have a story to share, I encourage you to go the the website or Instagram and tell us your story. We would love to make your voice heard and share it with the world.

No Shave November

For the past few years: my dad, brother, and I decided to participate in No Shave November to raise awareness and money for cancer. We grow out our beards and posted all across social media to help raise money and awareness for the cause. We encourage you to help us continue our battle in fighting cancer. Together, we can help find a cure for cancer.

Attached below is progression of my beard from November 1 through December 1st. The message behind growing your hair out is to embrace your hair, which many cancer patients lose, by letting it grow wild and free.
