If someone would have told me I would be running 5Ks let alone half marathons, I would have said they were crazy. Fast forward three years and I have completed six half marathons. However, the most impressionable race I have done was the Nationwide Children’s Columbus Marathon. Being a mother myself and seeing these kids cheering all the runners on made me want to do more with my running.
In 2016, the opportunity came to be able to run on the Ronald McDonald House Charities running team, Team RMHC and I couldn’t say no. I am now able to turn all the miles that I run for my training into money to help the families that stay at the Ronald McDonald House. Even with all the running I have been doing, I didn’t feel that was enough. So, I worked with the owner of a local restaurant, the Chocolate Café, to raise more money. The owner has been so gracious to offer to donate ten percent of the entire day’s sales back to the families staying at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House.
I am so happy to be part of Team RMHC!
