Genny Jackson

I am racing the Tri Cities 70.3 in September 2026 to raise money for the Agape Fund. Thomas has remained a steadfast figure of strength, friendship, and resilience in my life, and I can think of no better cause to support than his.

Kristen Parks

I am incredibly grateful to be running the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon in October 2026 in honor of the Agape Fund. As a healthcare worker, I have witnessed the deep impact medical research has on patients and their clinical progress, so it is a true privilege to raise money for the neurodivergent community.

John Byrne

I am excited to be backpacking a 125 mile section of the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevadas to raise money for my nephew, Thomas, and the Agape Fund. Thomas has confronted medical challenges with strength and courage. He and so many others are benefitting from the foundation’s work.
