This summer, I’m taking on the MUDGIRL Run—mud, sweat, and all—to raise awareness and funds for a cause deeply personal to me: supporting survivors of domestic violence. I’m running for every woman who had to run before me.

Interval House of Ottawa provides emergency shelter, safety, and compassionate support to women and children fleeing abuse. As a survivor myself, I know how vital it is to have a place where healing begins and hope is restored. This run is my way of giving back, reclaiming my strength, and making sure other women get the chance to reclaim theirs too.

Every dollar raised goes directly toward lifesaving services, crisis support, and resources that help women rebuild their lives—free from violence.

Help me turn this mud run into a movement. Let’s get loud, get messy, and make a difference.
