Leilah's Run for COVID Relief

Since I have no medical training, I thought this could be a "use what you have" situation to still help out humanity at a time when we need it most! Where I lack in stethoscopes and needles, I compensate in the ability to suffer through endless miles on my feet. So, that's what I'll do. I will be running 100 miles for the first time in my running career, starting on April 18th. The route will be on trail, through mountains, and largely alone. No aid stations, no friendly volunteers, no wonderfully-arranged snacks on tables. I will run the Arizona Trail from Oracle to Superior, a route that will at least provide me the Gila River for water. The charity I've chosen to raise money for is the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, Inc., who is supporting a number of entities aimed at providing medical supplies, food, and local community support. Every donation will go directly to the CDP through GoFundMe as a medium. I know many are in tough times of their own and may not be able to donate any large sums, but truly every penny makes an impact. I will be providing live updates on my run from my website and through social media so feel free to tune in and watch the suffer ensue!
