Why I’m Fundraising Again

It’s funny to think that my MS RUN THE US journey began over 2.5 years ago with my original fundraising goal of $10,000. It seemed so daunting to fundraise that amount of money and yet, I managed to get there. I talk about why I’m so passionate about this organization and raising funds for MS on this page.

I wanted to become an Ambassador for the organization again because it gives my running a greater sense of purpose. Its also a large part in my ‘why’ behind starting running and branching out in ultras. I love to have a bigger purpose behind running all the long distance miles and knowing that I’m raising money for those living with MS helps fuel my fire.

And so, I’ve kickstarted my fundraising and training for 2021. I have absolutely no idea where this pandemic will leave us come August, but I do know that I’m doing what I can now to help me be a better version of myself tomorrow. If there’s anything 2020 taught me, it’s that you can hope and dream big, but the world might have other plans for you come raceday.
