Hi everyone! My name is Jacqueline, and I’m a coach, educator, and runner currently training for the Los Angeles Marathon—which will be my second LA Marathon. Running has always been more than just a personal goal for me; it’s a way to model discipline, perseverance, and self-belief for the scholars I coach and support every day.

This marathon is not just about crossing the finish line—it’s about giving back. The funds raised through this GoFundMe will go directly toward supporting my scholars with essential resources such as running equipment (compression socks, sweat towels, running vest, fanny pack, biofreeze), fuel (gels, hydration, nutrition), and other training needs that help them feel prepared, confident, and cared for.

Many of my scholars show up with heart, commitment, and grit—but not always with access to the tools they need. Your support helps remove those barriers and ensures they can train safely, build confidence, and experience the power of accomplishing something hard.

Thank you for supporting not just my marathon journey, but the growth, wellness, and dreams of the scholars I coach. Every contribution—big or small—helps us go the distance together. ‍
