What are your top tips for running 75 miles in 31 days?
What’s your connection to the Red Cross?
I started giving blood last year and want to help others in need. There are so many out there struggling and I just want to give back and help any way I can.
What motivated you to raise money on behalf of the Red Cross?
To help individuals and families impacted by natural disasters. It is great knowing that others can be helped when they are going through a difficult time when they need it most. The Red Cross is an amazing organization and does so much for the community and I am so happy to support such an amazing organization.
What are your top fundraising tips for future 75 Mile Challenge participants?
Post your journey and share with friends and family. Don’t be afraid to ask others because if you don’t ask you will never know.
What is your top tip for running 75 miles in 31 days?
You have 31 days to complete and can chip away at the mileage each day. Don’t Give Up. Keep pushing because you can do this.
What’s your connection to the Red Cross?
I don’t really have any connection, rather I just believe it is an extraordinary organization doing absolutely amazing work. Everything the American Red Cross provides to those in need and the help they supply to military families is of utmost importance and it was an honor to be part of their efforts.
What motivated you to raise money on behalf of the Red Cross?
I am a runner who stays motivated by running for a purpose. I gained a lot of appreciation for the Red Cross after having to sign blood transfusion forms during the very scary emergent birth of my daughter. It made it slightly less traumatic knowing there were bags of blood available and at my bedside in the event they were necessary.
