Thank you all for your generous donations! We exceeded our goal by over $600. I also surpassed my 80-mile running goal at 91.6 plus adding walking miles to reach a grand total of 127.5 miles!

This virtual fundraising challenge came at the perfect time for me to do something meaningful while training for my first half marathon this November. I felt compelled to give back for all the effort I’ve put in during this time, and it aligns perfectly with my passions.

The quote below the photo is from @jonmoxley , one of my favorite professional wrestlers. After the @aew PAC tribute show, Moxley delivered a heartfelt speech. This part resonated deeply with me, especially as I reached the end of this challenge, determined to give back in the best way I could…to give a s**t 🤘

The Young Center’s work is incredibly important as they are the only organization in the U.S. authorized to serve as independent Child Advocates for unaccompanied and separated immigrant children. They fight every day for children’s best interests in courtrooms, in policy decisions, and in conversations with national media. Each mile I logged supports their advocacy and legal efforts to ensure that immigrant children are treated as children with dignity, compassion, and care.
