I am a mother of 3 children that are all a part of the Growing Places family - an amazing non-profit organization that provides a caring and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn.

As a member of the Going Paces running team for Growing Places, our goal is to raise money for health and wellness programs for our kids. As a participant, I pledge to raise $750 by the time I run the Portland Half Marathon on October 2nd. 100% of every dollar raised will go directly to children's programing and materials directly related to health and wellness.

I hope you can support me, my kids and their amazing non-profit school Growing Places by making a donation to my campaign. Your donation is tax deductible, and no donation is too small.

I am really excited to be a part of this and I hope you will be able to support me in my efforts to make a difference. I will be thinking of you and my kids as I train and ultimately cross the finish line in October.

Thank you so much for your support!
