Sole sis Melissa and I co-captained one of the aid stations for the 2021 California International Marathon! My awesome Bible study sisters rallied and help me make 60ish flannel scarves for the volunteers. It was an insane and intense day; but we rocked it out and decided to re-commit for 2022!

As a runner, it’s important to not only receive, but to also give back to the running community. I love volunteering at the aid stations for ultra marathons.
