Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! 

I am thrilled to share, I will be running the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon as a member of #TeamVoloKids! This will be my third marathon, bringing me one step closer to my ultimate goal: completing all six World Majors. 

Why did I choose to run for #TeamVolo Kids? Easy. The Volo Kids Foundation is on a mission to use play to build communities of active, resilient, and confident kids. 

Here are some of the challenges kids face today:

I want to help provide opportunities for kids to have an active, fun, and social outlet to build their communities and confidence.

Throughout my life, "play" has been a constant - be it sports (👋 Volo, Running, Climbing, Crossfit, P360, etc.), boardgames, or D&D. These communities have allowed me to create lifelong friendships, learn, and broaden my experiences. 

As a kid, my parents signed me up for soccer, tennis, basketball, softball - and really, any sports team they could find. Although my professional sports career never took off, these experiences had a tremendous impact on my physical and mental health. I recognize how lucky I was to have had those opportunities and believe access to a healthy lifestyle should be a right, not a privilege. 

This is why I am committed to my fundraising goal for Volo Kids - to ensure every kid has equitable access to the benefits of a healthy life. 

Here's to strong women: May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. Although I was active growing up, I really fell in love with (and learned the importance of) fitness when I started weightlifting as an adult. It took a lot of concentrated effort to unlearn what the media and fitness industries taught me "being fit" meant since I was a young girl - "smaller is better." Weightlifting changed my whole mindset and made fitness fun again. I'm thrilled to support an organization that has a Key Initiative (Girls in the Game) focused on making sports more accessible to young girls. 

I am committed to fundraising for Volo Kids Foundation to ensure every kid has access to free, quality sports programs - I hope you will join me by making a gift today.  

For one child to access a season of sports with Volo Kids, it costs $175. Every dollar counts! 

Please join me in making a gift today to help unlock the power of play for every kid, everywhere. 

Thank you!
