Since many of you who follow this page knew Travis or have discovered him through his YouTube videos, I wanted to share this link. I am running the 2023 Chicago Marathon in memory of him as a part of the American Cancer Society’s Team DetermiNation. Our team is gearing up its fundraising efforts, and I would be both honored and humbled by your support. Or come cheer me on if you’ll be in Chicago! ❤️

I’m supporting the American Cancer Society to honor those touched by cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research. Support me.

I was absolutely honored to create the Aurora and Prince costumes for the Ballet Vero Beach production, “The Sleeping Princess,” which was created and performed in Travis Halsey’s honor. Several of his close friends and colleagues came together to create the costumes for this special ballet company that meant so much to him. Make sure you support these wonderful artists by watching the online version next week! ❤️
