It Only Takes One. One Step. One 5K. One Chance to Make a Difference.

This season, I’m lacing up my shoes for UNO’s RunHer Program, a life-changing initiative that empowers middle school girls through running, mentorship, and mental wellness. The journey starts with one step, and for many of these girls, it’s the first time they’re seeing themselves as strong, capable, and unstoppable.

I know firsthand what running can do.
It helped me get in shape—but more than that, it supported my mental well-being. Running has been my outlet, my therapy, my way of staying grounded and strong in life’s toughest seasons. That’s why I’m excited for our girls to experience the same.

RunHer isn’t just about finishing a 5K—it’s about confidence, community, and showing up for yourself. It’s about girls, especially in Black and Brown communities, seeing their strength (mentally and physically) every time they run.

That’s why I’m fundraising to keep this program free and accessible. Because it only takes one:

One step to start a journey.
One 5K to change a life.
One donation to show a girl she matters.
Your support helps provide running shoes, snacks, race entries, mentorship, and mental health support. Every dollar helps fuel her confidence and well-being.
