My Story…
I fell in love with Haiti as soon as I stepped foot in the country in June 2017 for a medical mission trip, and the passion for the country has continued to stay with me to this day. Continuing my support from the US, I have been a board member with Haiti H2O, driving our mission forward to strengthen and grow communities in rural Haiti.
This year marks my 6th year running the Pittsburgh Half Marathon with Haiti H2O!
I run this marathon to help the communities in Haiti thrive and become sustainable in their own ways. With the pandemic and political unrest, trips down to Haiti are not possible, and the country can use our support.
Please consider helping me reach my fundraising goal of $1200, and support me in my goal. Every gift helps, and I can't thank you enough for your support!
