On June 26th I will be running the Missoula Marathon for the sixteenth consecutive year.  I also will be joining the 2022 Run For Kids Team to raise funds and awareness for Youth Homes.  

Youth Homes is a local non profit organization and each day they care for over 300 kids and families in crisis in Western Montana.  Funds are needed to help provide child and family counseling, foster care and adoption programs, family support services and group home care. 

I chose to join the Run 4 Kids team because I believe in what they do in caring for and supporting children and families. I am grateful for the amazing people in the Youth Homes organization that give their time and talents nurturing, teaching and guiding our youth. It saddens me to know that there are children in our community that have not been able to just be carefree kids without having to worry about crisis in their lives. 

We all know the smile on a child's face when they are excited and happy and when they feel accepted and included.  Please consider donating to my fundraising efforts and together we can help support local children and families and maybe add more smiles.
