Why did you choose to participate in SHE RUNS Grand Rapids?
I chose “She Runs” because this brings women of all ages and abilities together to share their strengths and determination to be successful.
What is your impact story?
I did the first Gazelle Girl event years ago, since then I have had many obstacles. Multiple surgeries, an auto accident and now stage 4 Kidney failure. I have chosen to participate this year to prove to myself I can still do it! I will not be running, I will walk the entire 1/2 marathon and hopefully spread the word about ‘Live Kidney Donation’ I want to continue to be as active as I can until and after a transplant.
