My Story…
I'm coming out of race retirement to take on a new challenge: running to support the next generation of dietetics professionals.
I'm participating in the 2024 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend as part of a team of registered dietitians to raise funds for the Academy Foundation. Today the need for qualified nutrition experts has never been greater. However, many talented students struggle to afford the education required to enter the field. The Foundation supports scholarships, awards, grants, and even disaster relief!
Running has always been more than just physical activity for me. It's a way to maintain both my physical and mental health, providing a sense of clarity and purpose. Now, I'm combining my passion for running with my commitment to the dietetics profession.
By joining this FUNdraising effort, I'm not just promoting our profession – I'm helping to ensure its future. Every step I take and every dollar raised will go toward supporting dietitians who might otherwise be unable to pursue their dreams due to financial constraints.
I'm privileged to be part of this initiative, but I can't do it alone. Your support, no matter how small, can make a significant difference and, by extension, in the health of our communities.
Thank you for your support. 🙏
Donate to help Jen raise money for 2024 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
