Help Kaarin raise money

A few years ago, I ran the Twin Cities Marathon 10 Mile as part of the YMCA of the North Adventure Team, and it was such a fantastic experience. I loved being surrounded by people who believe in the power of camp, adventure, and giving kids opportunities to grow.

This year, I’m excited to lace up my shoes again, but this time, I’ll be running the TCM 5K with my 12-year-old daughter, Claire.

Well… with Claire may be a generous description. She’s a great runner, so I’ll probably be running behind her! 😂

Claire and I are both taking on the challenge and raising $250 each to support YMCA Camping. Every dollar helps advance our equity in the outdoors efforts, creating spaces of belonging in the outdoors for all. 

I’ve had the privilege of seeing that impact firsthand through my work with the YMCA of the North, and I’m especially excited to share this experience with Claire. There’s something pretty special about running for a cause we both believe in.

Would you consider helping us reach our $250 fundraising goal? No donation is too small, and every contribution helps send kids to camp and create experiences they’ll carry with them for a lifetime.

Thank you for cheering us on; we’ll see you at the finish line! 🏃‍♀️💙
