My Story…

I'm running in honor of Jackson and his incredible family.  My dear friend Natalia's son Jackson died when he was just 2 years old, for unknown reasons.  Even though I never met Jackson, he and his family inspire me to savor the beauty and joy around me, something I try to cultivate when running. Learn more about SUDC, beautiful Jackson, and keeping his memory and spirit alive here: https://www.tall-like-a-tree.org/
