Grateful. Thankful. Appreciative. I’m very fortunate to have a great family, wonderful friends and a career I love amongst many other blessings. I’m also entirely too lucky to have someone wonderful by my side to share all of that with. Thank you, @moore_alex27 for sticking around, being present and for being willing to lean in to the madness, even when it means long distance flights, longer distance phone calls and needing entirely too much patience. You’ve got a knack for making long days seem easier and easy days seem longer in the best of ways. Glad to be able to have you as my partner. Here’s to continuing the adventure 🥃

Being able to share smiles with friends near and far is one of my favorite things about my career. Thanks to @winwincharity, it’s partners and sponsors, I’ve had the opportunity to make new friends in person as well as virtually at Children’s Hospitals around the country. Over the past few years, I’ve grown to become close with two very special members of the @ryanfoundation #SeacrestStudios @vumcchildren in Nashville, TN, @mamieshepherd and @caycelong. They’re incredible on-air hosts for the hospital and come up with tons of ongoing 24/7 programming for their patients, staff and guests and have been integral in helping Win-Win create a national network of friends. It’s incredible to see how positive, driven and joyous these folks are in their mission to make sure the world is a better place, even in the face of tragedy. Thank you to Mamie, Cayce for the warmest of welcomes back to Nashville and to their campus for my first in-person, on-site visit to their studio. Thanks to all of the patients, family and staff who took the time to come into studio and to our friends at Seacrest Studios in Ohio and Georgia for making this a live multi-state broadcast as well. Even when the world gets a little darker, the work you all do shines especially bright. Looking forward to our next in-person hang out and many more virtual ones in the coming weeks! #Repost @winwincharity ・・・ We believe in magic 🪄 After a hard week for our friends in Nashville, @johnrotellini extended compassion to patients at #SeacrestStudios @vumcchildren. Thanks for bringing the spirit of Win Win to a city, and country, in mourning, John 🤍 #Nashville #magic #JohnOnStage #charity #entertainment #specialevents #childrenshospital

4/4 @nycmarathon marathon recap! Crossing the finish was incredibly fulfilling and being awarded my finisher medal was fantastic. It’s phenomenal how heavy they are! After the race, finishers needed to make their way through a series of checkpoints to get the last of our post race swag, see medical if needed and get a proper cool down in. Everyone that I interacted with that had anything to do with the race was so kind and professional. The atmosphere surrounding the race, be it in the lead up to, during or after was really magical. That magic continued once I exited the finisher corral and got to reconvene with my cheering section. While I had friends and family sending their support in the lead up to, and during the race digitally, the always lovely @moore_alex27 supported me in the months of preparation leading up to the race, traveled to New York with me, and was at the finish line to cheer me on. Getting to see her smile and show off my flashy new hardware was really fun. We then headed into the city further to grab a much needed post race snack and a celebratory cocktail (Alex was kind enough to help me down the stairs 😂😂😂). The next day, we ventured back into Manhattan for #MedalMonday and had an amazing dinner with our dear friends and gracious hosts @erosad and @tfox_08. All in all, a dream come true and a mission success. Thanks to everyone who helped me prepare, train, and get across the line. There’s a number of fantastic organizations and individuals who have made this possible. By no means a comprehensive list: @underarmour, @uarunning, @honeystinger, @nyrr, @runcoachsays, @flipbelt, @bodyglide, @kinesiotape, @feetures, @bocogear, @oakley, @goodr, @strava, @hyperice. This one took a village, and I’m looking forward to whatever the next race is. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to not having to train for a little while. Here’s to a job well done and more races down the road! 🥃

3/4 @nycmarathon recap! At long last - months of training and over a year of waiting, it was time to hear the gun, cross the start and set off on the course! I was warned that the course is deceptively fast and that couldn’t be more accurate. I knew I’d go out fast but, even after scaling back a bit, I was still headed out above pace. The race was incredible. Each of the five boroughs had a distinct flavor. The city came out in full force. The entire course was filled with love, support and more positive energy and can-do attitude than I could’ve imagined. Truly an opportunity to see NYC at its best. The race flew by through the half and it wasn’t until miles 18-21 that my going out too fast caught up with me. Thankfully, I was able to scale back a bit and focus on reasonable consistency to complete the race. I was thrilled to smash a new PR of 4:10:42 (even if I didn’t hit my bonus goal of going sub 4:00:00, which I now know is possible with better race planning and a bit more training). My @underarmour @uarunning gear (singlet, compression trunks, running shorts and #FlowVelocitiElite shoes) worked like a charm. The new Velociti Elite racing shoes were the perfect hybrid of the snappiness of the Pebax plate that I’ve come to expect from the #HOVRMachina3 and the lightweight and smooth step through of the #FlowVelocitiWind2’s that I’ve been training and racing in prior. This shoe will be turning some heads and I can’t thank UA enough for letting me gain access to these ahead of their global public release in 2023. @honeystinger came in clutch during the race - my Chews were the perfect way to maintain my energy levels and helped bring me out of some fatigue troughs toward the end. I can’t speak highly enough about Honey Stinger. Their products are fantastic and the company has an excellent culture of positivity and support, whether a pro athlete, a competitive amateur or a weekend warrior. I can’t thank them enough for getting behind me and sponsoring my entry. Additional thanks to @bodyglide, @feetures and @flipbelt for making great products that were integral to my race. #UnderArmour #UARunning #HSHive #SweetenTheBurn #Running #Marathon

2/4 @nycmarathon recap! Race day started early (made even earlier by the redeye the previous day and the minor amount of sleep the night before). 3:30am wake to prep, fuel and transit to @nyc.pubc.library for my 5am bus. Like everything about race day, things were absolutely electric. It was astonishing to see just how many people were not only at the bus pickup at 5 but bright eyed and bushy tailed. Buses flew in and out with the most precision and quickest loading and departing I’ve seen anywhere. The ride to race villages in Staten Island was filled with positivity and people amped up for the day. Upon arrival, we were greeted with an incredible sunrise over the start line on the Verrazano Bridge. There was plenty of time to get in some additional pre-race carbs (NYC Bagel, anyone) and the good folks @dunkin and @gatorade made sure we all stayed hydrated. While it was tough to prioritize rest, there were a few cat naps and some quality therapy dog cuddles (yes you read that right). After several laps of the village, lots of stretching, plyometrics and some delicious pre-race @honeystinger waffles (vanilla is still my go-to favorite) it was finally time to head to the start line. I felt especially ready to go fast and crush a race thanks to the always amazing team @underarmour who very kindly allowed me to get my hands on a pair of their brand new @uarunning #FlowVelocitiElite racing shoes months before their public release. Keep your eyes peeled for them to hit store shelves sometime in 2023 - these were an absolute joy to race in and I’m looking forward to more PR’s in them. #UnderArmour #UARunning #FlowVelocitiElite #HSHive #SweetenTheBurn #Running #Marathon

1/4 @nycmarathon recap! Adventures began on Race Saturday with a trip from Las Vegas to NYC. The weather was exemplary (especially for November) which made traversing the city a treat. Speaking of treats, the day was full of snacking, pre race carb loading and amazing @honeystinger snacks. After some quick hellos with great folks, it was time to hit the Race Expo to snag my bib, bus assignment and assorted swag… #UnderArmour #UARunning #FlowVelocitiElite #HSHive #SweetenTheBurn #Running #Marathon

@jeffcivillico has created an incredible platform in @winwincharity to give back and enables headlining entertainers and other wonderful volunteers and incredible organizations to collaborate, share smiles and bring a whole lot of joy to hospital patients, families, volunteers and staff around the country. It’s been an honor and a privilege to join in this incredible adventure and see it grow across the country. My sincerest thanks to Jeff and the rest of the Win-Win Entertainment team for providing these opportunities. Getting to be a part of these visits has been and continue to be high points of my weeks and have provided so much joy in the time I’ve gotten to be involved. Here’s to 200 in the books and many more to come! Interested in learning more? Please visit https://lnkd.in/gyUbGYNn #Repost @jeffcivillico ・・・ We noted this on @winwincharity channels, but I wanted to post this milestone here on my personal account too... Earlier this week @johnrotellini did his 200th @winwincharity visit. 200! That's incredible. I'm the Founder and I haven't done 200 visits 🤣 Win-Win relies on professional entertainers like John donating their time and talent to perform for children in hospitals all over the country. Since 2014, John has been doing just that at children's hospitals here in Vegas, as well as when he's on the road for corporates in cities like Orlando and San Francisco. He's done 100+ virtual shows when kids in hospitals were cut off from the outside world. He has done so much for this organization, and we are all truly indebted. John doesn't "have time" to give back... he makes time to give back. John is in demand. He's constantly flying all over the world (quite literally), performing for corporates, colleges and cruise ships. But no matter how busy he is, he still makes time to give back and share his talents with those in need to make the world a little brighter. He's a great role model for us all. He's incredibly talented. He has the biggest heart. I'm happy to call him a friend. Please join me in showering John with love for reaching this extraordinary milestone... 200 free performances for children's hospitals ❤️
