My Story…

This year I am running the Pittsburgh back half marathon and raising money to support a few organizations that are near and dear to my heart. Thank you for reading and for considering a donation! Your support means so much to me.

Homeless Children's Education Fund: This summer I had the absolute honor of working with some teens from one of HCEF's teen workforce programs. They were a highlight of my year and it means a lot to me and my work to support our local youth in finding new and exciting opportunities.

Girls on the Run: For the past two years I have volunteered with GOTR'S spring and fall races. Watching those kids cross the finish line and accomplish a huge goal is truly inspiring.

Animal Friends: Animal Friends is the rescue where the Maus family met and fell in love with our best friend, and the sweetest dog ever,the late, great Pepper Ann.
