#KeepMovingKeepSurviving

Donation protected
Inspired by Alex Fine I have decided to start my own fundraising campaign entitled #KeepMovingKeepSurviving - on Oct 12th I will be running 20 miles with no prior running training to raise $10,000 to donate to Kara and Project Aware.

Kara is an organization that provides free grief support to people of all ages. I reached out to Kara when I had hit rock bottom. When I could barely get out of bed to go to work, when I couldn’t bear the sadness and anger I was dealing with from not processing my grief and they listened and helped me get through an insanely delicate time.


Project aware is an organization I have been working with for almost 2 years now. They clean up dive sites and raise money for marine life and oceanic conservation. The Project Aware team is also tremendously compassionate and they continue to reach out to me to make sure I am doing okay.


I am running because I believe that your mind is your strongest asset and if you train your mind then your body will follow. About a year ago my mindset had hit rock bottom. I didn’t see a purpose to continue living and I woke up every morning begging God to exchange my life for Chris’. My mindset, my faith in God, my physical body was all crumbling and I finally woke up one morning in Sept 2018 and decided that the only way to keep moving and to keep surviving was to strengthen my mind. 


If you knew that you could achieve all of your dreams, wouldn’t you stop at nothing to achieve them? Why is it that we so often give up on things we want because we convince ourselves that our goals are out of our reach?


I have committed to running 20 miles because I know that my mind is strong enough to complete this challenge. I know that I can accomplish anything because I made it out of what I thought was an endless darkness.


I encourage you all to take a look at your own mindset. What are you holding yourself back from?

 If anyone would like to run with me, please do not hesitate to contact me so I can give you all the details. The donations will be split 50/50 between Kara and Project Aware.


Thank you all for your support❤️
