Help Melissa raise money

Hi, my name is Melissa, and I’m proud to share that I’m training for my very first 5K race—at the age of 48!

This journey is deeply personal. A cherished family member of mine recently suffered a heart attack, and as a Type 2 diabetic, I’ve come face to face with the importance of taking better care of my own health. I want to make lasting changes—not just for myself, but for those I love.

I’m running to raise funds for the Heart & Stroke Foundation, a cause that’s near and dear to my heart. This race isn’t just a goal—it’s a symbol of hope, strength, and a fresh start.

With each step I take, I’m choosing a healthier path and supporting vital research and recovery for those affected by heart disease and stroke.

Thank you for cheering me on and supporting this important cause!

Let’s take steps toward a healthier future—together.
