My Story…

I’m running the Beach to Beacon to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Maine, to support after-school programming for youth in my community. Many of the children in my neighborhood participate in these activities and it is so inspiring and encouraging to see their engagement and excitement for the community.

I have never run a 10K before, so this is a stretch for me. I am training slow and steady, aiming to finish the race. Preparing for this race has allowed me to refocus on my health and wellness. I've become a member of my local YMCA and am enjoying all they have to offer to get me fit and ready!
