I met Mikey in the third grade, and from that day on he was my brother. We grew up together through field trips, birthday parties, road trips, and the summers we spent recording our first track, rapping over "93 'Til Infinity." That song became our motto, and it still is.

Mikey created The CP and gave me a brotherhood I'll carry for the rest of my life. He was always his authentic self. Goofy, quick to make people laugh, always throwing up the Wu-Tang. Even when time passed between hangouts, he made it feel like no time had passed at all. One of my favorite memories is seeing him on the dance floor at my wedding, going bar for bar, and going dumb when Mac Dre came on. I'm so grateful he was there.

Mikey passed away last year during the Thanksgiving season, and losing him hurt more than I can put into words. This Thanksgiving, close to one year since he left us, I'm running the Drumstick Dash 10K in his honor and remembrance. Every mile is for him, and for all the people we've lost who still live on through us.

If Mikey ever made you laugh, brought you closer to someone, or showed you what it means to just be yourself, I'd be grateful for your support. Every donation helps and keeps his spirit moving forward. I'm running for Hope The Mission because it just feels right. Mikey's whole thing was bringing people together and making everyone feel like family. Hope The Mission does that for people who need it most, giving them a hot meal, a warm bed, and a real shot at a fresh start. Last year they provided 3,000 beds and 8,100 meals a day. On a day all about family and being around the table, I want to help make sure more people have a seat at one.

Thank you for helping me celebrate my brother. CPFL. 'Til Infinity 🦀❤️🕊
