Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! I'm excited to be raising money for the Forest Park Conservancy this year. 

I'm sitting here trying to think of how to explain why Forest Park is important to me and it isn't necessarily a cohesive story so I'll make it simple. Running is as much an antidepressant for me as the medication I take and the therapy I participate in. It keeps me healthy and sane and makes me feel more confident than most other things. I am deeply grateful to have such easy access to this many miles of trails without even leaving the city where I live, and I have the Conservancy to thank for keeping those miles groomed and ready. It's an important place and an amazing resource, especially in a city. I'd love if you could give even a dollar to help them keep this place as beautiful as it is. 

I'll be tracking my miles, running and biking, throughout the summer, and I hope to finish off the summer by running the entire Wildwood trail (31 miles) start to finish. I'll be there and running either way. Some donations are just a bonus.
