I’m participating in the New Hope Community 5K Run / Walk / Roll to support a community where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are seen, valued, and empowered to live full lives.

New Hope is about connection and possibility: friendships, independence, confidence, and community belonging. The funds raised through this event help strengthen the programs and experiences that make those things real.

My connection to New Hope:

I've been a part of the New Hope Community team for over a year now. As the Development Coordinator, I have seen what can happen when people come together to support a cause. There have been many moments when I have watched individuals reach their goals, overcome fears, and experience new activities they once may not have thought were possible, all thanks to the support shown to the NHC Foundation.

By supporting this 5K, not only are you joining the community, you are becoming part of something that has a real impact on the individuals at New Hope. I've seen people overcome their fear and ride a horse independently, ride the FlowRider like a pro (better than I ever could), and go to Nationals for a sport they fell in love with! That is my why, the impact I have seen while being here. 

Be part of that impact. Join me in supporting the 5K!

I want people to see what I am so passionate about and be involved with me, however you are able to.

Here’s how you can help:

• Donate: Any amount makes a difference.

• Share: Please share this page; it helps more than you think.

• Join me: You’re welcome to participate with me at the event!

Thank you for supporting me and for helping build a community where everybody belongs.
