One Love Track & Field Club

    I am partnering with my coach, Richard Rucker, head coach at UCLA Club Track & Field and Beverly Hills High. Our mission is to make track and field accessible to people all around the world, regardless of age, gender, and social condition. Track and field changed my life, and I’m hoping to help others discover their power through this incredible sport.

     We are looking for an initial donation of $10,000 to establish the inaugural One Love Track & Field Club, bringing awareness to the sport of track, while providing opportunities for athletes across all ages and stages to reach their potential. Coach will kick off the One Love Race in August 2021 with a unique community-wide celebration for families and students as everyone begins to navigate the new normal.

     Join me in making a difference by contributing to our first race! Coach Rucker’s vision is to bring track to communities all around the world, while unleashing the inner athlete in us and allowing everyone to reach their true potential. I know firsthand how powerful this vision is—Coach Rucker is the reason I (a first-time athlete at 39!) will be competing in the 100m at the USATFF National Championships in Iowa on July 22nd. In just one year, he—and the sport of track and field—has transformed my life.

     I experienced first-hand the healing power of running as I overcame personal hurdles and transformed my mind and body over the las year. The upcoming National Championships marks a milestone in my athletic journey. This will mark my 8th race, over 1,600 miles of running and over 2,500 hours of training as I compete for my second All-American title. Coach Rucker has helped me discover my inner athlete, which helped me thrive despite death, divorce and struggles during the pandemic. One Love Track & Field Club aims to help others find their true calling and purpose, much in the way Coach Rucker helped me find mine.

     With One Love Track & Field Club, we are looking to create an inclusive track experience, bringing communities together through the power of track – along with music and empowering motivational talks. One Love is seeking resources and backing to help bring this vision to life – from financial contributions to equipment, mentorship, athlete leadership, and other tools that will help us see this vision through.

One love, one life.
