Help Hope raise money

Hey everyone, I’ll be participating in Greg Olsen’s HEARTest Yard charity 5K for the second time on May 16th, and I’m also collecting pledges for my run again. All donations will go to the HEARTest Yard, a great charity that supports children with congenital heart defects and their families in the Carolinas by providing comprehensive medical care, in-home nursing, physical therapy, and more. Please help me reach my goal by donating to this wonderful cause—any amount is greatly appreciated! 

Thanks to the incredible generosity of family, friends, and neighbors, I raised $1,011 last year, far exceeding my initial goal of $250! But like I said above, whatever you’re comfortable giving at this time is more than enough.  (Also, I’m self-conscious, so I do feel the need to note that I did not donate the $54 to myself with the nice message attached. That was my Dad’s friend, and I guess he did it in my name...)

If anyone’s interested, I ran this race last year in 40:21 (I also got to get a pic with Greg Olsen & quickly tell him about my own congenital heart defects 😁), and then a 35:13 at the Turkey Trot. I got my time down again at a YMCA 5K on March 7th to 34:51, which isn’t as much as I’d like in all that time since Thanksgiving, but I’ve been dealing with a lingering injury that happened early December. Not quite back to 100% yet, but the other day I ran 10k (6.2mi) for the first time since I got hurt, so I’m definitely feeling better, and I hope to set another personal best at this upcoming race!
