Make It Amazing: Marathon 20

On December 5, 2026, I'll toe the line at the Rehoboth Seashore Marathon for the 20th time in my life — and for the first time, I'm asking for help to make it count twice. My daughter Mia was six years old when she passed away in March 2017, after a 364-day fight with childhood cancer. The three words she lived by — Make It Amazing — became our motto. I've run a marathon almost every year since 2008 — through starting as a husband, then a new father, then my mother's cancer diagnosis, through losing Mia, and through my own lung cancer diagnosis in December 2021. Marathon #20 isn't a new chapter. It's the next one. This time, I'm running for something bigger than a finish line: $20,000 for LivFree, so more families get what Mia gave ours — joy, in the middle of the hardest thing imaginable. Every mile between now and race day gets tracked here. Every dollar goes directly to LivFree. Follow the training and the story at @CarryTheRock on TikTok. Make It Ama
