Running for New Beginnings
I have decided to pursue one of my original 2020 goals of running my 2nd half marathon in September. Like most of us, I started out this year with high expectations. Then my best friends life was taken from her on January 24th. For awhile, I couldn’t find the strength to run again.
Emily & I completed our first half marathon together last year. I ran that race for me. I started running last May just to prove to myself I could do it, even when I didn’t want to, even when it was hard. Now it is harder than I ever imagined. Now I am running for her and I am asking for donations, love & support because I need the accountability, and a dear friend of mine could use the financial help.
If anyone is generous enough to donate, I will give 100% of the proceeds to my friend that recently escaped an abusive marriage. Domestic violence is real. Physical, emotional, sexual, psychological & economical abuse is real. She was controlled, manipulated, abused & felt trapped for many years & although she is “out” now, she has a long road ahead of her, financially & emotionally. She is the sweetest soul, kind, hard-working, a thoughtful friend & amazing mom of two. We would be humbled & forever grateful for any support. I will match the first $100 raised & would greatly appreciate any & all donations!
