And so it begins!

I am excited to announce that I am officially apart of the 2016 MS Run the US Relay team! I will be running approximately 150 miles over six consecutive days. I was just saying how much I love running here on the northwestern trails! and now, they will be my training ground for the next 9 months or so as I prepare for my segment in the 2016 relay!

Take a look at my fundraising page and please make a donation for this incredible cause!

It has been an exciting and extremely rewarding past 6 years. My travels have led me to almost every Continent on the globe. I have seen and experienced some of the most beautiful places this world has to offer, but more importantly the amount of interesting and wonderful human beings I have met along the way are without a doubt the reason that my experiences were so memorable. 

It's just one week until my Seattle journey begins. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. I can't wait to start discovering the city and all it has to offer! Oh and to start school too, of course :) I will be completing a post-bacc course in Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University just outside of Seattle. The program will go until the end of May and then hopefully, I will be admitted into the Naturopathic Medical program starting in the Fall of 2016. 

I secretely (or maybe not so secretly) can't wait to start running the trails and mountains in the Pacific Northwest!!!
