I have received the most incredible birthday gift! An opportunity to run The sold out London Marathon on April 27, 2025 with Rethink Mental Illness charities!  This opportunity allows me to pursue two passions: finishing the marathon destinations that are part of the 7 World Abbott Majors and bringing support and awareness to the important topic of Mental Health. 

The photo captures my daughter Lila and I at the finish of the Berlin Marathon in September 2025.  Her interest in running started in 5th grade when I took her on a one mile easy jog after a challenging day at school. I have coached over 300 3rd-5th grade girls through the Girls on the Run program which builds confidence in our youth through a 10 week running program that culminates in a 5k run.  I am currently a Retreat Leader for a company, RunWild Retreats, RunWildRetreats.com, that incorporates wellness and mindfulness into daily trail runs in fantastic cultural destinations. I teach hot yoga at TULA  in Denver tulahotyogadenver.com which helps practitioners heal physically, mentally, and spiritually.  Immersing myself in practices that promote well being and learning stories of transformation from my students and participants is exactly why I choose to do what I do.  

I witness and experience first hand the mental health benefits that come from running.  Being outside and dropping in to nature without technology is a game changer.  But we all know running is not a cure for all mental health issues, which is why I believe in ReThink as an organization that offers hope. 

Thank you for your contributions and inquiries.  You are my motivation!
