"It's a privilege to choose to suffer."
I don't remember where I first heard that but I think about it a lot while I'm running.
On March 28, I'm racing a 24-hour race. It's a 3 mile loop that you run as many time as you can in the allotted time. My goal is to run 80 miles.
On top of my fundraising goal of $2400, I'll personally be donating $2 for every mile I complete.
Your donations will support the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund assembled by the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota (WFMN).
Here's a blurb from their site:
The Immigrant Rapid Response Fund (IRRF) is a coalition of philanthropic leaders rooted in communities most impacted by immigration-related harm. IRRF ensures that resources move quickly, responsibly, and with community accountability to trusted organizations responding to immigration-related emergencies across Minnesota.
We prioritize organizations that are culturally responsive, linguistically accessible, and deeply rooted in the communities they serve. Funds are directed to organizations working to support:
- Urgent Basic Needs: Providing food, housing, transportation, health care and other essential emergent supports in response to attacks
- Urgent Legal Services: legal defense, due process support, and rights protection
- Mobilizing & Organizing: know-your-rights education, community safety planning, advocacy, and coalition-building
Thank you for your support and Fuck ICE!
