I’m incredibly happy and honored to announce this partnership! I’ve been an ambassador for Bigger Than The Trail since 2020 and look forward to the continued growth of the organization.

For those of you who don’t know about my running background, I started for the mental escape. Depression, and later anxiety, began to plague my life and greatly hindered my ability to function and navigate everyday situations. Running became my salvation. I began to learn lessons from running, lessons that I was able to turn around and relate to life. I built up a confidence that I had never felt before. I found peace. Since then I have tried my best to share my experiences with the hope that I can help others navigate the seeming darkness that comes with mental illness. I’ve tried to be a light. So when I came across an organization that held the same values, I jumped at the opportunity to work with them.
