Running is my clarity and my adventure. I began running in middle school.  I was a Missouri State Track Champion and ran a semester at Iowa Western Community College. I currently run about 50 miles a week with several run clubs around Omaha. I have ran LOTS of events (5K, 10K, half marathons) all over the United States.  I have paced full marathons and ultras and completed the Chicago Marathon in the fall of 2024.

I'm so excited to be part of the DDRC running community! I love participating in 5Ks, and my favorite event is the Donate Life Walk. I run to honor my amazing daughter, Abby, and her incredible organ donor. I can't wait to share running adventures with you and maybe even see you at a race!

I started my running journey with Girls on the Run club when I was in elementary school! Then I tried cross country in middle school and ran long distance track in high school. In college I ran my first half marathon and this May will be my 4th one! I love how good I feel when I run.

Running is a big part of who I am and has taught me so much! I competed in cross country and track for 4 years in college. I absolutely loved being part of a team that pushed and encouraged each other to be our best. I have also found some of my best friends through running! I’ve raced in lots of 5Ks, 10Ks and four half-marathons. Let’s go FINS! :)

I joined the cross country team when I was in middle school, and have loved running ever since! I still enjoy running long distances and hiking when I have the chance, but most days I have just enough time to go for a walk through the neighborhood with my family and our dog. I am so excited to be joining Disney's running club this year!

I started my running journey when I was young, as I played lots of sports growing up! I would always participate in the short 5k's that my school would host including Girls on the Run, Pumpkin Run, Mayor's Run, etc. In college, my sorority would always host a 5K as a fundraiser, and I would always run that! I even finished first place one of the years! Running was something that I found relaxing and peaceful for myself! I love getting to put my airpods in, and to escape on a run! I also love hiking trails and mountains and running has helped build my endurance to fully enjoy them without getting tired easily! I can't wait to see what a season of DDRC will bring for the students at our school!

In high school, I played five sports. After high school, I coached volleyball, softball, and track. I also love to participate in fun runs in my free time! I am very excited to be apart of a team again! Go FINS!

I started running in middle school and continued through high school, where I even medaled at state with my relay team. Despite undergoing three major knee surgeries in high school and being advised not to run again, I refused to give up. Running has taught me the power of perseverance and the importance of stepping outside my comfort zone. Recently, I just completed two half marathons! Now, I'm excited to help kids believe in themselves because running meets everyone where they're at and proves they're capable of more than they think -- no matter what others might say!
