Why I am running?

My goal is to multiply the impact of Kennedy’s Legacy. I’m running this half marathon with the hope of raising support and adding $1,300 in new monthly giving through Kennedy’s Club. Would you consider making a donation or joining Kennedy’s Club with a monthly donation?

The race I have chosen has two levels, a 5K and a half marathon.

Yikes! I have chosen to run a Half Marathon for the second time. This time I will be turning my miles into impact.

Will you consider joining me on May 16th for the 5K or half marathon?

Why I am running?

I’m running a 5K to support BoK Ethiopian families who captured my heart during a recent missions trip, where I witnessed their incredible hearts, hardships and their real, everyday needs. Through this fundraiser, I hope to help provide much needed financial support and encouragement to these beautiful families while raising awareness for the BoK organization.

Why I am running?

As I prepare to enter my next decade in June, I invite you to celebrate my last half-marathon as I start to say farewell to my 50’s next weekend by running (and walking) the Cowtown. At my age, my mother suffered from multiple myeloma, which took her life at 60. To celebrate my next decade and my mom’s life, I am raising donations for (1) Because of Kennedy, a nonprofit my first PhD helped start, that empowers women and children in Ethiopia, and (2) The Archway (www.the archwaytx.org), which helps domestic abuse survivors and their children stay safe while holding abusers accountable. Please consider donating to these two amazing organizations and tell them Lauri sent you. Below is a link to donate to Because of Kennedy.
