Help support Challenged Athletes Foundation as I prepare to run the Glacier Half Marathon!
Help support Challenged Athletes Foundation as I prepare to run in the Glacier Half Marathon event June 28, 2025! The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), established in 1997, assists, supports, and provides opportunity to people with physical challenges, so that they can lead active lifestyles and compete in athletic events. It is founded in the belief that involvement in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life.
I've committed to raise money to support Challenged Athletes Foundation by registering as a Charity Bib for the Glacier Half Marathon. This is not an easy race for me. The first five miles is a section with a constant gradient that begins at more than 5,000 feet above sea level. A constant climb. This is a challenging course. As an experienced marathoner this half marathon makes me nervous as it will not be easy. The first leg being all up! With 4 hours or less to finish. Running isn't always easy. There will be pain. Which inspires me even more to run for this charity.
I am inspired by this cause because I am able to run it and so many are not due to a physical disability. A physical restriction they have no control over. Over the years, through my travels and connections with friends and family I have met some wonderful individuals who live with a disability, yet have a deep desire to be physically active. The Challenged Athletes Foundation provides grants to people with physical disabilities to pursue sport and fitness activities. All age ranges.
I believe that my running for this charity can only help some one else have the opportunity to experience a physical activity! My goal is to see others shine and smile!
I have until June 14th, 2025 to reach my goal. Once I do, I'll be eligible to run!
Will you help me raise money to support this incredible mission?
