Running for a Reason

Hi everyone! On September 13, I’ll be running 5KM at Southport.

If you know me, you know I talk fast, walk faster, and run… well, only when absolutely necessary. But this run is necessary because I’ve decided to raise money for two causes that truly matter to me:

• 50% of all donations will go to Cancer support services

• 50% will go to Parkinson’s research

Both cancer and Parkinson’s have impacted people I love, some who have passed, and others who continue to fight and inspire. This run is for them. It’s for their strength, their stories, and their courage.

So, if you’ve ever said, “I’d pay to see you run,” now is your moment. Put your money where your mouth is.

If you’re able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my slightly out-of-breath heart. If not, feel free to cheer me on… or mock as I dramatically cross the finish line.

In loving memory of Ernest and Rita Thompson

And for everyone still in the fight
