Help support Rising Hearts as I prepare to run the Rocky Raccoon 100 Miles!

I’ve committed to raise money to support Rising Hearts as I embark on this training cycle in preparation for the Rocky Raccoon 100 Miles. Rocky Raccoon is a popular ultramarathon. It takes place in Huntsville State Park, located about 70 miles north of Houston, Texas. The course consists of loops that traverse singletrack trails, with a combination of wooded areas, occasional open stretches, and some technical sections. The race takes place in February and Texas weather during this time of the year can be highly unpredictable. Runners are expected to prepare for a range of conditions including rain and temperature swings. Weather changes can affect everything from clothing choices to pacing strategies.

Rising Hearts is an indigenous led grassroots organization with multiple initiatives that contribute to the organizations overall vision of a socially, economically, and environmentally just world. They focus their efforts on closing the visibility gap and creating points of access in the sport of running for Indigenous, Black, Asian, Muslim, Two Spirit, and LGBTQIA communities, adaptive bodies, and others who may not see themselves represented. Addressing these challenges involves increasing representation, supporting community programs, and fostering an inclusive environment that welcomes and supports runners from all backgrounds. I am dedicated to leveraging my skills, network, and passion for running to generate funds that will empower Rising Hearts in their mission to create positive change.
