Help Josephine raise money

Hi there! Thanks so much for visiting this page. 

I am so excited to be training for the 2022 Pittsburgh Half Marathon! After taking a hiatus from distance running to tend to some injuries and ailments, I am energized to begin this new step in my journey to become a better, healthier, and happier version of myself. 

Along with training for and competing in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon in May, I'm excited to share that I have committed to running my first marathon before my birthday this September to complete my "26.2 by 26" goal. The journey ahead may be a long one, but I am driven by a bigger purpose in knowing the impact I can have on others. 

The 'run for a reason' portion of the Pittsburgh Marathon was something I had known about prior to completing my first half marathon in 2019, but was unfortunately something I never carried through with. In commitment to be more aligned with my personal values in 2022, I knew this was something I wanted to be apart of. 

Enter Urban Impact! I chose this organization because of their commitment to improving the livelihood of the local Pittsburgh youth while bringing them closer to God. The youth represent our next generation of leaders who can inspire change. Access to education, athletics, and performing arts are necessary and essential for children of all gender, age, race, and socioeconomic background. I am passionate about being involved in youth initiatives and want to be able to offer my continued support to an organization that is focused on creating unique, equitable experience for all. 

This is where you come in! I have set a personal goal to raise $700 for Urban Impact over the course of the spring. I am asking for small donations to help me reach this goal. ANY amount helps and is extremely appreciated. Please know that this will create an impact that is absolutely immeasurable, and I could not be any more grateful for that. 

For those of you that have stuck with me this long, THANK YOU! As I mentioned above, every little bit helps and I am so excited to get the ball rolling. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!
