I started a Resilience Marathon team to support an organization, Trauma Support Services, that provides critical services to the North Texas and broader community. I walk for an organization that supports and believes in healing, and is there for those who have survived the unimaginable. Through my experience as a counselor, I have witnessed the strength of the human spirit, time and time again.  When reflecting on the marathon’s themes of gratitude and resilience, I think of how grateful I am for this strength of the human spirit, and the resilience to persevere despite many obstacles. I am also grateful for an organization whose passion and determination has led to trauma informed organizations and communities, as well as a greater understanding of how to support those who need us most.
