Top Host
I’m incredibly excited to share that we’ve entered the Top Host competition, where the winner will have the opportunity to host their own podcast produced by iHeartRadio, take home $25,000, and be a guest on On Air with Ryan Seacrest!
But for me, this is about so much more than winning.
Through Past Forward Now, my mission is to share real stories and remind people that they are not alone — spreading HOPE, LOVE, and STRENGTH along the journey.
And if we win, 50% of the $25,000 prize will be donated to suicide prevention, supporting organizations working to save lives and give people hope when they need it most.
Help us turn this opportunity into something bigger than a podcast. Help us reach more people. Help us spread HOPE.
Extra Life
For the last 7 years, I’ve been proud to be part of Extra Life, raising money to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network.
This year, I want to make an even bigger impact by bringing the Past Forward Now community together to raise money #ForTheKids.
You don’t have to be a gamer or make a large donation. Every dollar, every share, and every act of support can help children and families when they need it most. Let’s come together, have some fun, and make a difference.
🎮 7 Years. One Mission. Helping Kids.
