Help Michelle raise money

Hello all! Please support me as I run in the Twin Cities 10 mile on October 5th 2025 and fundraise for the YMCA of the North. Not only is the YCA of the North a cohort of 17+ camps and adventure programs that offer outdoor experiences for all ages, 365 days per year, but it is also a special organization for my family where we've created ao many treasured memories. YMCA of the North's goal is to increase equity, inclusion and belonging efforts--including but not limited to: scholarships, continued learning experiences for staff, and more! Please support me in helping the YMCA of the North continue creating inclusive, accessible spaces that acknowledge shared history and nurture diverse communities.

This race has another special importance for me--as this will likely be my dad's last race in a long and successful running career and it's a privilege to be with him on this final lap! Additionally, my family spent a week at Camp du Nord this summer--where we enjoyed connecting with the outdoors (see hiking photo below), spending up quality time away from the hustle and bustle, and participating in a fun and diverse community. 

Any amount, big or small, will make a difference. Help me reach my $500 fundraising goal and continuing to foster the YMCA's important mission. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
