My Story…
Hello friends,
In 2006, I was biking in Belgium and wondered right into the middle of a road race. The energy was high and I wanted to be a part of it. Since then, I've learned that I do not particularly enjoy running; the physical exertion is hard for me. I like it best once I've finished. But I keep running because its a community and an energy outlet for me. Running has connected me with like-minded people who have become my dearest friends. Running allows me to push my limits. Running has taken me to some beautiful places. Running has taught me gratitude for my health. And most of all, running has given me a platform to do good for others.
This May, I am running for young people and families that need our help. Just as I have the scale, skill and heart to finish this half marathon, Trellis has the scale, skill and heart to unlock human potential across generations. If you can spare a dollar, please consider donating to my page and to Trellis Society.
Thank you for your generosity!
Gotta run,
Riley
