I ran my first ever race, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, when I was a 3rd grader and a member of Girls on the Run at my elementary school in Raleigh, NC. This afterschool activity inspired me to continue running as not just a sport, but as a fundamental aspect of my lifestyle.
Now, almost 12 years later as a junior at the University of Miami, I will race to the finish line of my first ever marathon with Girls on the Run, supporting the foundation and young girls as I do so!
