Welcome to my website
I am excited to be running with Love Without Boundaries for a second time this fall. I am a special education teacher of students with multiple and severe disabilities, many of whom have serious medical conditions like the orphans LWB serves. I was introduced to LWB through the Glass family, who have adopted four children from China. Their work for LWB and the love they show all of their children continually inspires me to run with this team. This will be my third Marine Corps Marathon, and I’m excited to go through another summer and fall of training. I will be training in Mancos, Colorado this summer as I intern at an Outdoor Adventure summer camp for teenagers. I’m hoping the elevation training makes running in the DC area seem easier once I’m back at the start of the schoolyear!
My motivation to participate with Team LWB this year
Gotta run...
Fund-Raising
Goal: $750.00
To date: $595.00
I'm participating on behalf of Hannah. Hannah is being cared for in LWB’s Heartbridge Healing Unit. Her orphanage was having a very hard time getting her to gain weight, due to a really difficult combination of special needs: she has a VSD (hole in her heart), her heart is on the right side of her chest cavity, and Pierre Robin Syndrome causes her to have an underdeveloped lower jaw, small mouth, cleft lip and no tongue. Hannah was born in January and will need to gain weight before it is safe for her to have heart surgery. She is an incredibly fragile, but very tough, little girl.
