Wellness is more than a lifestyle for me—it’s a lifelong journey of healing, purpose, and creating a healthier future for myself and my community.

Running With Purpose: $1,800 Raised for Margarita & Alejandra

In 2025, I decided to turn something I love—running—into something that could make a difference beyond myself. Through a series of three half-marathon races, I set out to raise funds for Margarita and her daughter, Alejandra, who is courageously battling ALS in Mexico.

What started as miles on the pavement became a journey of purpose, community, and faith. With the support of family, friends, and everyone who believed in this cause, I was blessed to raise $1,800 to help cover medical expenses and provide much-needed support for their family.

Every mile carried a reminder that we never truly know the impact we can make when we are willing to use what we have to help someone else. The early mornings, long training runs, tired legs, and three finish lines became so much more meaningful knowing they were connected to something bigger than me.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared, encouraged me, or simply cheered me on along the way. These races reminded me that sometimes the finish line isn’t the most important part of the journey—the lives we touch along the way are.

I ran for Margarita. I ran for Alejandra. I ran with purpose. ❤️🏃🏽‍♀️

$1,800 raised. 3 half-marathons. Countless miles. One purpose: to help make a difference.
