I am honored to be apart of Hope So Bright team and bring attention to such a great cause. Having been around children through my wife’s line of work in early intervention programs assisting with a range of disabilities, and having my own kids now, it means even more to me that we promote awareness, educate the public, and provide support to children when the care can be most beneficial.

Calum Neff is a Canadian that began running at the age of four years old. Growing up, his family moved to a different country every couple years and running has always served as his connection to the people and places of the world. Neff remains competitive even after over 27 years of running in everything from one mile on the roads, 5k’s on the track, major marathons, to ultra’s through the mountains. He currently lives in Katy, Texas with his wife Julie and two girls Alessandra and Holland (who recently broke the Guinness World Record for half marathon pushing a stroller in 1:11:27). Neff works as an Operations Manager in Houston in addition to coaching locally and worldwide for running.coach.
