I’m lacing up my running shoes and dedicating my 5K race to a cause that’s truly close to my heart—supporting the incredible work of Blossom’s Animal Sanctuary. I’ve always been fascinated by orangutans—their intelligence, their gentle nature, and the crucial role they play in their ecosystems. When I learned about the threats they face, from habitat destruction to illegal trafficking, I knew I couldn’t sit back and do nothing.

That’s why I’m fundraising for Blossom’s. Through this effort, I hope to help provide rescue, rehabilitation, and lifelong care for orangutans in need. Running this 5K is my way of combining my love for fitness with my passion for making a difference. I believe every step I take and every dollar we raise together can create real impact in protecting these amazing animals and preserving their habitat.

Please join me in this mission—together, we can help build a brighter future for orangutans, one stride at a time!
