5k Success!

The Lengthen Your Stride 5K was a success! We had beautiful weather for our first run and over 1,000 people participated! We collected over $2,000 and 5,550 lbs. of food for the NC Food Bank. We donated over 300 bags & boxes of clothes to North Raleigh Ministries and 50 boxes of clothes to LifeCare Pregnancy center. We also have 2 XL bags of long sleeve shirts for migrant farm workers to help protect them from pesticides and we gathered 2 boxes of used grocery bags for a local elementary school fundraiser.
All that hard work paid off and I'm so excited that we will do it again next year!

Public Affairs

I recently joined the North America Southeast area public affairs team for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Someone asked me what that meant and why it was needed. I read this article today that I think answers that question very well. Click here to read what Elder L. Tom Perry said last week at Women's Week at BYU.
