I started my running journey 2 years ago at the Eugene Marathon! Year 1, I ran my first race ever, the 5k! Last year was my first half marathon, and this year will be my first full marathon! Running has turned into such an amazing health and mental health outlet for me and I am so grateful for the support over the years.

The past years I have participated in Run for a Reason, and this year I will be running for the Relief Nursery! Having worked in mental health for so long, I have seen the support and impact the Relief Nursery has had on children, families and on our community as a whole, and I’m so grateful to be running for such an amazing group of people!
