In 2020, I decided to challenge myself to run a half marathon, thinking it would be a great way to meet new people, push myself to achieve something I felt impossible, and would result in a fun weekend of events with the Missoula Marathon. Well... only one of those things actually happened. I met some great people! We persevered through virtual training sessions, covering miles and miles and miles of socially distanced running, and bonded over many hours spent together.
Fast forward two years, and the Missoula Marathon is finally back in person! I am so excited to participate this year as part of the Youth Homes team, and am raising funds to support their work in our community. Their mission is to help every youth feel safe, have a sense of belonging and find a place to call home. These are things we want for all of our youth, and their work pairs beautifully with the work I do with the Missoula Education Foundation.
