Help me in supporting Rising Hearts for the 2025 Javelina Jundred!
In my 23 years of running I have learned many lessons. The lesson that has been close to my heart is that I can make it through any hardship that is in front of me no matter the difficulty or how much I want to give up, if I keep moving forward, I will make it beyond the finish line.
As a teenager I knew that one day I would take on the challenge of running 100 miles. Twenty years later the time has come. As I reflect over the past year and a half I have contemplated and have been encouraged by my friends and family to focus on this. I will be completing my first 100 mile race this October at the Javelina Jundred. I want to make this as memorable and meaningful 100 mile journey by fundraising for an organization that is helping Indigenous communities throughout the United States.
I've decided to fundraise to support Rising Hearts because of their strength, resilience, and journey to be heard and not forgotten in history. This cause has become important to me because I feel that our nation is in need of more awareness of the Indigenous communities. Indigenous communities are in need of more support and resources.
I feel that Indigenous communities are being unheard and unsupported, lacking the resources to survive, to move forward and excel in life. Rising Hearts is bridging the gap between movement and advocacy. Rising hearts advocates for racial, social, climate justice and kinship. They are hoping to help transform the running and outdoor industry and community to be more supportive, inclusive, accessible, respectful, safe and diverse.
I have until October 11, 2025 to reach my goal. A donation of any size will help get me there, can I count on your support?
