Dear Everyone <3
I have signed up for a Monument Valley 50km, and I've agreed to help raise $1000 for the Navajo Village Heritage Center! Donate here to help raise money for the Navajo Village Heritage Center. Visit the site here : http://navajovillage.com/
In 2010 I had a signtificant bipolar breakdown, but for the first time in my adult life I found my way forward. In 2011, still 70 pounds overweight from the bipolar meds, I began running. I literally ran one mile on a treadmill. Three months later, in March of 2011, I ran my first half-marathon. After this, I moved to the trails and never looked back.
Not only did I find the most wonderful support network outside, I also found a depth of inner resilence within. Thus was I reborn in these hills and mountains of my home in Colorado.
Every year since 2012 I have run multiple marathon or longer distances. This reconnection to my feet, to my body, to my breath, and to my innate strength has given me such hope and renewed love. It is with this energy that I want to give back to this beautiful community.
Please help me #runforlove. I have until March 17th to reach this goal of $1000. Together we can do it!!!!!
In deep gratitude and bounding love I say thank you. I believe in you. I believe in life. Let's share this breath of joy.
#runforlove #runforlife
