Welcome to my fundraising page for the VIRTUAL Marian House Race to Embrace Independence 5k! 

This event is virtual for the first time in 12 years to provide a safe and healthy experience for all of our participants to run the 5k at home and still support Marian House.  My friend Eleanor has been a long-time volunteer at Marian House, served on the Board of Directors, plus Advancement, Board Development and 5k Committees, so I know this is a worthy effort. Hopefully, since you are here then you know me and will trust me by showing your support.

Here's how the race is going to work this year...during the week of September 19 to September 27, you run or walk 3.1 miles in your neighborhood and you will be a finisher for our largest fundraiser of the year!  It's as easy as that and your participation will support brave and amazing women who are residents of Marian House and who are receiving support for their GED, job training, sobriety, mental wellness, housing, and more.

Please join the team by registering and for considering a donation to Marian House.  We are working hard to make this our most successful 5k race ever and on behalf of the staff and residents, thank you so much for your participation through my team, Eleanor Smith's (VIRTUAL) Racers. 

Be well,

Jacqui
