Help Kayla raise money

I'm excited to share that this fall I'll be running the Twin Cities Half Marathon for More as part of Team TCM! As you may remember, last Fall I ran the 2025 Chicago Marathon for Team World Vision. I loved using my passion of running towards making a difference in this world and spreading some much needed love in this world! This October, I am running to make a difference locally! I am running to help over 8,000 kids complete the FREE kids races as they learn to love being active and live a healthy lifestyle and to help local high school students in need afford running shoes. See the data below for how these funds are used! 

Running has been a huge part of my life and I don't think I would be who I am today if I hadn't started running. I thank God for this ability each and every day. Running has brought me the most incredible adventures and journeys - from traveling to huge marathons to the everyday grind of a marathon training program, seeing the small steps pay off towards the larger journey and goal. 

Running has helped me: build confidence, deepen my relationship with God, appreciate the little moments in life, see the beauty in everyday nature, release stress and clear my mind, connect with incredible humans, and find strength I didn't know I had. I could go on and on.

By running for Team TCM this is our chance to help kids find the same love of running, build their confidence, connect with others, and empower them to be the best that they can be!!! Please consider donating any amount, big or small! It all makes a difference! Thank you!!
