Hannah is one of our fellow native runners, and her heart is as strong as her legs.

In 2025, Hannah committed to running the New York City Marathon for Rise Above, a native organization that supports native youth in sports, with a fundraising goal of $5,000. She trained hard and began fundraising with everything she had.

Midway through the year, life threw her a huge curveball. Hannah was laid off from her job. As a single mom of three, her priority had to be keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table. Even in the middle of that stress and uncertainty, she still raised $2,000 for Rise Above and went on to run the NYC Marathon, representing with strength and integrity.

Hannah made a promise to Rise Above, and she is determined to honor it. She’s our run buddy, and Jocelyn and I have committed to helping her reach her goal, but time is running out.

We’re asking our community to help us spread the word. Even a $10 donation makes a difference and helps Hannah fulfill the commitment she ran her heart out for.

Please consider donating or sharing. Let’s lift up a runner who never gave up.
