As a board member of the Marian House for the past three years, I have been fortunate to experience first hand the amazing work that this organization does for women and children in Maryland. Their vision - 

Marian House is a holistic, healing community for women and their children who are in need of housing and support services. We provide a safe, sober, and loving environment that challenges women to respect and love themselves, confront emotional and socioeconomic barriers, and transition to stable and independent lives.

 The Race to Embrace 5K is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Marian House and even though we've had to go virtual this year, we're not letting that stop our enthusiasm or goal to raise as much money as possible! It was a bummer for me to miss last year, so I'm very glad even while I'm still here in Singapore, far away from Baltimore, I can participate in the event! Please consider joining me (running, walking, swimming) in the 5k or by donating to support our fundraising efforts. Thank you!
