Why Let Me Run?
Running marathons for several years and then moving into ultras, running is my anchor and teaches so many life lessons. I stumbled into coaching for the program and it rekindled a joy for working with young people as they grow and develop. Combing these two passions is a perfect way to give back while seeing the boys gain confidence and physical and mental fitness. Watching a boy’s face light up after accomplishing something they never thought they could achieve is powerful.

What do you hope for Let Me Run boys?
I hope Let Me Run boys gain confidence in themselves through the power of running. I hope they leverage the skills learned and become leaders and mentors in their school and sports teams, and I hope they continue to run for purpose, enjoyment, and to be part of the fabulous community of runners who give back.I also hope they are able to incorporate running into their lives long term and encourage friends to do the same.
