Why Mike Runs for Team Ouimet

I’m running the Boston Marathon and raising money for the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund because I’ve had a front-row seat my entire life to the extraordinary impact this organization has on young people and their families. I’ve seen firsthand how The Fund opens doors, eases financial burdens, and transforms futures for those who serve the game of golf, and it’s inspired me to give back in the most meaningful way I can.

Training for the marathon is a challenge, but it’s nothing compared to the hard work Ouimet Scholars put in every day, and knowing that each mile supports their opportunity to pursue an education motivates me to keep pushing. This effort is personal to me, and I’m proud to run on behalf of a cause that changes lives.

Thank you for your support!
