Strides Against Hunger: Why I'm running 35 miles on my 35th Birthday

When was the last time you wondered where your next meal was coming from? 

For most of us, that’s not an uncertainty we often - if ever - experience. Unlike those facing hunger, we don't have to choose between keeping the lights on or buying groceries. 

But for many people, that is their reality. 

In Iowa it’s estimated that 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 8 children face hunger. 

... 

In this episode I share some updates to my 2024 Misogi, in which I will tackle my 1st ever Ultra by running 35 miles on my 35th birthday. 

The 1st update is that I am inviting a handful of select friends and family to run with me. They will choose the mile(s) they wish to participate, so that I will be running with different people throughout the 35 miles. This will provide me with much needed morale - not to mention some timely snacks/drinks! 

The 2nd update is that I am partnering with with Food Bank of Iowa to make my run a fundraiser to raise money to provide food for the hungry in Iowa. My goal is $5,000 - and I'll need YOUR help!

For those who participate in this goal by running or donating, I'll be inviting you to meet me at the finish line so we can celebrate our accomplishment (location TBA).
