The Faces of Our Ministry
Our team brings together parents, advocates, and community leaders united by a single calling: to walk alongside rare families and remind them they are never alone.
Michelle is Liam's mom and the heart behind everything Run With Liam does. After receiving Liam's rare diagnosis, she channeled her grief and determination into building a community she wished had existed from day one. Michelle leads the ministry with unwavering faith and fierce love. She has spent the last several years connecting rare families across the country and developing support programs.
"No family should have to figure this out alone. That's why we run."
Chris is Liam's dad and the steady backbone of the ministry's day-to-day operations. A former logistics manager, he brings structure, resourcefulness, and a calm presence to everything he touches. Chris oversees event planning, volunteer coordination, and the ministry's financial stewardship. He believes that showing up consistently — even on the hard days — is one of the most powerful forms of advocacy. Outside the ministry, Chris is a fire fighter and paramedic.
"Faith isn't passive. We show up, do the work, and trust God with the rest."
Lisa is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Army-Veteran.
"The science matters — but so does having someone in your corner who truly understands."
