My Story…

I’m running the TC Half Marathon with Team Second Harvest Heartland—my first race post‑baby—and I’m proud to use it as a chance to support a mission that’s deeply personal to me.

I had the privilege of helping Second Harvest launch their FOODRx program, where I saw firsthand how powerful nutritious food can be in improving health outcomes. With my background in dietetics, I know that access to healthy food isn’t just a nice‑to‑have—it’s essential. 

Your donation directly helps Second Harvest Heartland continue providing nutritious food to families across Minnesota.

And because fundraising should be fun…

🎉 Outfit Contest!

For every $10 donated, you’ll get one entry into a drawing to choose my race‑day outfit. I’ll keep ultimate veto power (gotta stay within race rules!), but you get to help decide what I’m wearing as I run 13.1 miles for a cause I care about.

Thank you for supporting Second Harvest Heartland—and for cheering me on for my first race back. Let’s make an impact together

Description

I am participating in a Twin Cities Marathon Weekend race and have chosen to support Second Harvest Heartland as a charity runner!

Second Harvest Heartland is a leading hunger-relief organization. In partnership with more than 1,000 food shelves and hunger-relief programs in Minnesota and western Wisconsin, they provided more than 143 million meals to neighbors last year. They also help families enroll in food assistance and provide prepared meals for people who need more than groceries. Second Harvest Heartland is a leader, convener and voice in hunger-related policy discussions.

I'm proud to run for a cause that matters to me and my community during the weekend of October 2-4. Please support me in my efforts!
