Welcome to my fundraising page.
In 2022, a group of friends—Justin Casey, Tom Flynn, Brent White, and myself—set out to “Iron” the Josh Billings Triathlon while raising money for a cause that meant a lot to us. Together, with the incredible support of our friends, families, and community, we raised more than $13,000 for Boston Children’s Hospital.
Fast forward to 2026, and we’re back at it—but this time, we have the opportunity to make an impact right here at home through the Josh Billings Finish Line Fund, supporting Berkshire County nonprofits.
This year, Andy Wrba, Sam Russo, and I have teamed up to train and compete while raising funds for Strong Little Souls, an organization especially close to our “Framily.” Strong Little Souls is a Berkshire County-based nonprofit dedicated to brightening the lives of children battling cancer and supporting their families through customized care packages, financial assistance, and granting special wishes.
We’re excited to take on the Josh together and, more importantly, use the journey to support an incredible organization doing meaningful work for kids and families who need it most.
We’d be grateful for your support as we train, race, and raise money for Strong Little Souls. Every donation helps us get a little closer to the finish line—and helps make a difference for some truly deserving families.
Thank you.
"The Finish Line Fund" presented by The Josh Billings RunAground and Mill Town Foundation
The Great Josh Billings RunAground is a cherished Berkshire Tradition that began in 1977. The triathlon brings our community together in the spirit of good natured competition and camaraderie.
Mill Town Foundation has partnered with the Josh Billings RunAground to introduce a charitable fundraising initiative that empowers individual competitors and teams to raise funds for Berkshire- based nonprofits.
This program enhances the Josh’s tradition of community impact by connecting athletic competition with local philanthropy, channeling funds to support Berkshire County nonprofits.
The Finish Line Fund is a peer-to-peer fundraising program that:
- Integrates charitable giving into race registration
- Provides personalized fundraising pages for every participant
- Connects athletes with vetted Berkshire nonprofits
- Distributes 100% of donations directly to chosen organizations
- Celebrates impact alongside athletic achievement
Each year, The Josh Billings RunAground, a 501(3)c organization, shares a portion of proceeds generated by registration fees and donations to the Berkshire United Way. This remains unchanged in 2026.
New for 2026, Mill Town Foundation has partnered with The Josh Billings RunAground to offer a community impact initiative titled, "The Finish Line Fund".
Racers choose from many of the Berkshire-based nonprofit organizations that are dedicated to helping the Berkshire communities every day and are deserving of recognition and support.
