My WHY: I run for mental health. I believe if one's mental health is strong, their heart is best positioned to be equally strong. Conversely, if one's heart is suffering -whether physically or emotionally- the heart in turn will struggle.

I look to support my law students, my colleagues, my family and my friends as best as I can. Support for the American Heart Association allows research continue to grow, and lives to be saved.

Please consider giving during my 30 days of 5ks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pledge a donation to AHA, and let me know whom I can honor through my social media on your behalf during these 30 days!
