This upcoming Saturday I am running a 5k to support Abby's House, an organization providing shelter, affordable housing, and advocacy to homeless, battered, and low-income women.
I am fortunate to not be counted in the abhorrent statistics of homeless and battered women in this country, but after watching the Netflix miniseries 'Maid' I felt called to support causes that aid women and children in getting out of abusive situations.
As you all know, I am not a runner - but women are resilient and stronger than they realize - so I will do this hard thing in order to help other women endure something much harder than running 3.2 miles!
Thanks to friends and family's generous support I have already surpassed my original goal of $250. Let's see if we can hit $500!! Anything you would be willing to contribute would be appreciated!
