Help Melissa raise money

This October, I’ll be running the half marathon as part of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon weekend with Team TCM!

This race feels extra special to me for a very personal reason. My brother turns 40 on 10/3, and race day is 10/4. I’ll be turning 50 just six months later on 4/3. We thought it would be pretty amazing to celebrate these milestone birthdays together… him entering his 40s and me saying goodbye to mine…. by crossing finish lines side by side (well… sort of 😄).

He’ll be running the full marathon, and I’ll be tackling the half marathon. For me, this is about more than miles. It’s about family, health, determination, and proving to ourselves that new goals don’t have an age limit.

As part of Team TCM, I’m also raising funds and have a goal of $365. If you’d like to support me on this journey, any donation — big or small — would mean so much. And if you can’t donate, encouragement and cheering me on are appreciated too!

Here’s to celebrating life, milestones, and doing hard things together. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
