My Story…
Hi, Penelope here!
I’m raising money to run in the Twin Cities Marathon on October 5th for the YMCA of the North’s Adventure Team! The team comprises a cohort of 17+ camps and adventure programs that offer outdoor experiences for all ages, 365 days a year. Y Adventure is fundraising specifically to increase our equity, inclusion, and belonging efforts- including but not limited to: scholarships, continued learning experiences for our staff, and more! Y Adventure is committed to creating inclusive, accessible spaces that acknowledge shared history and nurture diverse communities.
As a former camper and guide at Camp Widjiwagan, I have personally experienced and witnessed the magic of the Y Adventure programs. These programs are profound and transformative for campers, and I believe truly empower youth to discover who they are in such a unique way. I am thrilled to be running for and representing an organization I care so deeply about, and I want to see these programs continue to create impact with your help!
Any amount, big or small, will make a difference, and I am so grateful for your support!
Donate to help Penelope raise money for 2025 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
