Hello friends, family and supporters of change! I'm lacing up my sneakers for my first-ever marathon and I could not be more thrilled! I first discovered my love of running when I joined the cross country team when I was in ninth grade. Ever since, I have realized how fulfilling running is for me, both physically and mentally. This time, I'm not just running for fun; I'm running for Team Golden Apple, a wonderful organization that works to support and aid aspiring teachers in high need schools. As the daughter of two dedicated teachers and an educator myself, I've seen firsthand the transformative impact teachers have on young lives every single day. Your support means the world not only to me but to countless future educators and students who strive to reach their dreams. Every donation, big or small, makes a massive impact. Please click the donate button and join me on this joyful journey of running and giving back!
