Help Amanda raise money

As many of you may already know, I started my running journey in the summer of 8th grade as I was exposed to cross-country running with the local high school team. I competed on my high school's varsity team and though I didn't compete in college, I continued to run through the trails, beaches, and mountains of Southern California with friends.

When I moved to Minnesota in 2014, I learned how much more of a challenge it is to run year-round in a state that has all four seasons! I decided to pursue kickboxing and reduce my running commitment to non-winter months. 

In that time, I also became very involved as a volunteer and foster with Ruff Start Rescue (RSR). Will and I have fostered 13 dogs and cats in the last two years, and we've learned so much about animals, people, and the rescue world through the experience! RSR does so much to save the lives of countless animals, but there are many more that need our help.

When this opportunity arose to both raise money to help RSR save more animals and remind myself of the joys of running, I couldn't pass it up. I truly appreciate any type of support you're able to provide, whether it be a donation to my fundraising goal or an offer to run with me to help keep me on track. Thank you!
