About
I've always had a passion for running, it clears my mind and makes me feel free. I currently run on the Tamalpais High School Varsity Cross Country and Track Team. After reading multiple stories about underprivileged children all over the world on the Save The Children website, I realized how privileged I am to be living in the U.S. with a roof over my head and three meals a day - this is when my spark to help others ignited. I chose Save The Children because the money supports kids in need all over the world. Since I'm a kid it helps me connect to them and drives me to work harder to help them out.
I started raising money at the age of thirteen by having people pledge to make a donation of their choice per mile that I ran in a specific time frame. As I broadened my fundraising skills, I began to raise money in many different ways that were still all connected to my passion, running. For example, in 2019 I organized an Ice Cream Fun Run that raised over $2,600, I had lots of support from local companies as well as larger corporations including Athleta and Clif Bar. When COVID hit, I had to get creative. I started a Virtual Step Challenge in May of 2020 and raised $1,400 in three days!
So far I have raised over $33,500 through my fundraiser and I won't stop until no child has to suffer from disease, hunger, lack of education, or lack of water!
