My Story
I’ve always wanted to give back to the Vanessa T. Marcotte Foundation because, as a woman who struggles with her mental health, running has become my outlet; a place where I can clear my mind, find strength, and take care of myself. Vanessa’s story has always stayed with me. Knowing her tragic loss happened so close to home, and that she also loved running this race, makes this cause incredibly personal.
No one should have to worry about their safety while doing something that brings them peace and helps them heal. Every woman deserves to feel safe while taking care of herself.
This run is more than just crossing a finish line. It’s my way of honoring Vanessa’s memory and supporting a mission that empowers women to live boldly and fearlessly
If you’re able, please consider supporting my run. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps make a difference. Together, we can help create a safer world.
