After having children, running became a big part of my life for health reasons and to manage stress. Our family has always enjoyed being active outdoors and running was introduced to our boys at young ages. I've seen first-hand the before and after of how running and an active lifestyle positively impacts mood and behavior in my own children. I feel grateful to be part of such a great program that aids in developing social, emotional and physical health for our youth.
In my role as Development Assistant with Let Me Run, I help process donations and ensure that our donors are acknowledged for their generous contributions.
My hope is that every boy who participates in Let Me Run understands the value of how running, goal setting, encouraging others and an active lifestyle can influence a balanced approach to life. I'm hopeful this personal growth is something that can be carried into adulthood while making a few news friends and having fun along the way!
