Last year I completed my first marathon.  It was an incredible and challenging experience for me.  This year I wanted to do more than just run for myself, and so I chose to take this opportunity to run for Team Running Strong.  I got involved with Running Strong through a good friend who has run for team the last two years.

The goal of Team Running Strong is to raise money to fight poverty and need in Indian country.  American Indians suffer food insecurity and hunger at twice the rate of the general population.  They are among the most underserved by health professionals and suicide is the second leading cause of death for American Indian youth ages 10-24.  Many reservation communities still lack basic amenities such as running water, proper housing, and working utilities.  Please help this worthy cause by sponsoring me.  Even the smallest donation will go a long way to empowering Native communities realize their dreams.  Thank you.
