My Story…
I am running the Beach to Beacon for the Boys and Girls Club because it's a cause that lies close to my heart. Having volunteered at the club weekly, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact it has on young lives. I am passionate about helping others, being a role model, and teaching important life skills. Through activities like playing pick-up basketball with sixth-grade boys and teaching cooking classes, I have been able to create meaningful friendships and foster a sense of community. Participating in this race is not just about physical endurance; it's about supporting an organization that provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow, learn, and thrive. By running the Beach to Beacon, I hope to raise awareness and much-needed funds to continue empowering the next generation, one step at a time.
