As a TNT participant, Don has completed 18 marathons in the U.S. and internationally to raise money for LLS. He received the Chairman Citation in recognition of his outstanding efforts and support of LLS in 2013.

He received the 2010 Advocate of the Year Award for his outstanding commitment to the community blood supply and is a founding board member, president, and race director for the Honored Hero Run.
