First Mother’s Day without my mom and promised her and myself that I would get back into running and being consistent with working out and taking care of myself. In January I made a goal for myself to run a race by spring time. So I googled races near me in May. The first one that popped up was a 5k on Mother’s Day for a fundraiser to support women going through breast cancer treatment. I instantly knew it was a sign from my mom that this was the race I had to commit to. I was probably going to run it regardless but looked into the organization hosting the event, Inspiring Life Together. “Our mission is to care for moms undergoing breast cancer treatment and their families by funding and providing practical goods and services that support their mental, physical, and emotional needs.” Having gone through my mom’s journey firsthand, I couldn’t think of a better organization to support. Thanks, Mom. I miss you! <3
