In honor of Danny Trujillo

My WHY: 

In 2020, everyone's world changed but for some more than others. In May of 2020, I found out that my tio (a retired Marine), took his own life a few days before his birthday. I struggled to manage the grief and could not even attend the funeral due to travel restrictions. I turned to running because I had few other ways to cope with the loss in the midst of a very unsettling time. I signed up to run my first marathon in his honor. After, I completed it and then turned to training for a half ironman and now we're going to be competing in the NYC Marathon honor his legacy. We named our son Daniel, after him and know that they share a great bond. If my tio had better resources at a very senstive time, I believe he could still be here today to watch me run in NYC. Please consider donating to this amazing cause that is changing so many lives. Keep reading to learn more about the Fund and all of the great work that they do.
