Together We Will

Friends - I am so excited to be supporting the Donna Foundation again this year. In 2018/2019 we came together and raised over $11,000 for the organization and even though we won't be racing in person I think we can make an even bigger difference in 2020.
The Donna Foundation has been deeply impacted by the pandemic this year as well as the individuals and families who rely on their support. At first I felt a little bit intimidated to try to raise money in this crazy shit storm of a year but the second I made the first donation, I felt empowered and excited to get behind the Donna Foundation and make a difference.
If you are new to my personal story - I feel deeply connected to this issue- my Grandma had breast cancer at a very young age and when she was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer later in life we all got tested for the BRCA mutation. At 29 I found out I was positive for the BRCA 2 gene mutation and decided to have a prophylactic mastectomy after having my first baby. It was an emotional time in my life but I'm so thankful for ground breaking research that the Donna Foundation supports so that I could use my knowledge and make proactive choices.
If you ask anyone who’s participated in DONNA Marathon Weekend, or any DONNA signature event, they’ll tell you this is a weekend of unconditional love and support. It’s not just about being together, but pushing each other to run a little faster, walk a little further and give a little more, because together we can, and we will.
This year we will do that virtually and we can still make it special!!
I would be so honored if you'd consider a donation to the Donna Foundation with me and if you are moved to join- sign up for the virtual race as well! There is a 5K, half marathon, marathon and ultra options! Truly something for everyone. Use code "Lindsey5" if you sign up and also join my virtual training group!! (Search FB groups - "I'll Have Another Virtual Training)"
TOGETHER WE WILL. THANK YOU!!!
