This challenge is more than a personal test of endurance—it’s a stand for resilience, courage, and hope. I’m dedicating my solo challenge, She Rises, to the YWCA, an organization that empowers women, supports survivors, and builds safer communities. Every mile, every step, and every moment of this effort is in honor of those who face challenges far greater than my own, and who continue to rise with strength and grace. Together, we can turn determination into change and compassion into action.

In this big, crazy world I would like to be an even BIGGER voice for:

✔️supporting other women
✔️normalizing asking for help
✔️reminding others (and myself) that we are stronger than we think.

She rises challenge: October 18th, 2025
Fundraiser goes until: October 31st, 2025

Please consider donating to this cause and joining me in turning every step into something bigger than a run—into hope, healing, and lasting impact.
