My Story…
Hi Friends!
As some of you know, I've decided to run the Pittsburgh Marathon this year:) I love challenging myself & strive to crush any limiting beliefs I once had about what I'm capable of accomplishing. The first time I ran the marathon 10 years ago, I ran for my Dad. I had the opportunity to run for a cause this year and I decided to run for my Mom in support of one of her passions, The Miracle League of the South Hills.
If you aren't familiar, The Miracle League is a wonderfuly inclusive and uplifitng non-profit who envisions a community where all people with disabilities have opportunities to enhance their lives as athletes, teammates, and in everyday life. Their mission is to give children & adults with special needs the opportunity to play on a baseball team and field unqiuely designed for their abilities.
My mom has been a coach on 2 teams (Giants + Bluejays) for the last 4 years but has been a coach for 7 years total<3 She spends a few hours each Spring/Fall weekend on the field cheering, coaching and loving on these kids and their families. This beautiful community she is a part of creates an environment of acceptance for participants and their families with baseball as the root, as they promote meaningful, authentic relationships on and off the field.
This year I am running in support of my mom's dedication to The Miracle League of South Hills so they can continue to give back to the kids and families that provide so much joy to others each day. If you would be able to help contribute anything toward my goal, I would be forever grateful (and so would my mom)!!
