Why I Run for Marathon Kids
As a native Austinite, I have seen Marathon Kids grow over the years and evolve into a national organization making intentional spaces for personal development for children through movement. As a marathon runner, I align with how running can provide a tremendous amount of growth, strength and connection to oneself and their community. As an attorney, I began my legal career improving the lives of children escaping abuse and neglect and fully believe in the potential and resilience within each child. With these identities driving me, I ask for your support for Marathon Kids and be part of where Marathon Kids is running to next.
