Help Karen raise money

For participating in 2024 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend

My Story…

I’m raising money to run in the Twin Cities 10 Mile on October 6th, 2024 for YMCA of the North’s Adventure Team, a cohort of 17+ camps and adventure programs that offer outdoor experiences for all ages, 365 days per year. 

Y Adventure is fundraising specifically to increase equity, inclusion, and belonging efforts - including but not limited to: scholarships, continued learning experiences for staff, and more. Y Adventure is committed to creating inclusive, accessible spaces that acknowledge shared history and nurture diverse communities.

My family has benefitted immensely from the incredible outdoor and adventure programs that the YMCA of the North offers. I can attest to the impact these programs have on children and families - for healing, growth, connection, and creating lasting memories. I have been inspired by the Y's work to make it so everyone has access to these experiences, and am running to raise money to support these efforts!

Any amount will make a difference. Help me reach my $500 fundraising goal and get to the starting line by donating today! All proceeds will go directly to supporting the Y's equity, inclusion and belonging efforts.
