Miles for Marol!


In exactly 8 days from today, I will be participating in Bonn's Deutsche Post Marathon!
I have been looking forward to this day for several months 
& I cannot believe it is almost here...

I am excited to run my first ever half-marathon 
in a city that I have been lucky to call home for the past semester.
I have loved training along the Rhine River.
It is the most serene and perfect place to train
& its beauty gives me the motivation to go the distance!

It has always been a goal of mine to complete a half-marathon
& I know it will be such a joyful and rewarding moment when I cross the finish line,
but the best part about this event is that we are running for charity!

I will be running 13.1 miles to support Marol Academy,
a school in South Sudan that was started by a professor at LMU.
It strives to build a nation where boys and girls are educated equally
& improve the literacy rate, especially among females.

This is a social issue that I am very passionate about!
You can help support this cause by sponsoring me and donating here
I hope that you will consider contributing to this incredible cause.
Thank you in advance & Wish me luck!
