Hi there! My name is Alivia and to celebrate Earth day this year I'll be running at the annual Earth Day 5K by WE ACT to support a healthier, greener community!
As an environmental designer I actively work on projects to help create a more sustainable built environment, focusing on indoor health and wellbeing, and am a passionate advocate for environmental justice and equity for people of color. With environmentalism at the forefront of my professional and personal endeavors, I've chosen to run in the Earth Day 5K to help advocate for a healthier community and fundraise support for WE ACT here in New York City.
Many of those close to me know that I am an active runner, and am currently recovering from a stress fracture injury that has prevented me from being able to run for the past 9 weeks. What better way to get back into running than comitting to the Earth Day 5K! I'm looking forward to a full recovery, and training to get back into daily runs so that I can successfully complete the 5K this April. Running for a cause that means so much to me and the wellbeing of those in my community is exactly how I'd like to spend this Earth Day. I'd love for you to join me or donate to the cause if you're able!
