Hi Everyone, as a single parent 5k runs with Xoaquin gave us the opportunity to bond, create memories, and stay active. Xoaquin started running 5K's at the age of 5 and is now running competitively. I have been fortunate in my ability to give Xoaquin the opportunity of this experience at an early age and to continue chasing this passion by working towards getting faster and faster and running longer and longer. As a 6th grade middle schooler he will finally be able to join his schools running club and we are working towards creating a path of opportunities for other kids who may have Xoaquin's same passion for running but lack the resources.
I am running with Students, for Students at the SRLA Strength 10K & 5K! Will you join me in supporting Students Run LA and the 3,000 middle and high school students in their program? Each donation ensures that these students have the materials, transportation, race entries, mentorship, and community support that they need to succeed to accomplish their goals of running the LA Marathon and in life.
