My name is John Giovannucci, and I’m asking for your support as I fundraise for the Naples, Italy Marathon.

I’m honored to be running in support of Jar of Hope to help raise awareness for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and autism. This cause is incredibly personal to me. I’m running for my best friend’s brother, Jamesy, who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and for my 9-year-old cousin Grace who has autism, whose strength and joy inspire me every day. The photo on this page is of Grace and me, and it serves as a reminder of why this journey means so much.

Every mile I run is dedicated to raising awareness, supporting families affected by these conditions, and helping Jar of Hope continue its mission of funding research and providing hope to those living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Every donation, no matter how small, truly makes a difference. Your support helps advance this important cause and motivates me every step of the way as I prepare for and run the Naples Marathon.

Please click the donate button if you’re able to contribute. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity, encouragement, and support.
