The National Mall Reflecting Pool

SHE DID IT!

The final destination of Lion Pride Run VI was the Reflecting Pool situated between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument.

The run took place on April 4 and 5. Kate Fletcher traveled approximately 105 miles in 27 hours! She overcame fear, pain, fatigue, and even rain along the way. But she was so determined, she conquered this seemingly impossible challenge.

The Reflecting Pool held special significance to this run. If we look inside ourselves, we can overcome any challenge or obstacle in front of us.

Kate Fletcher would like everyone to know that we are filled with boundless potential if only we have the courage to look within ourselves and see it!

An Awesome Homecoming

Kate Fletcher graduated high school in Northern Virginia. When she realized she would be running by her former high school, we took the chance and got in contact with the track and cross country coaches there. As she ran by what is now known as Meridian High School, the entire cross country team came out to meet her as she traveled on her journey!

The Mayor also welcomed her into Falls Church. It was a spectacular moment right when she needed it most. Read more about it by clicking the button to the right! Thank you Falls Church and Meridian High School.
