About Lisa
I'm Lisa, a runner, traveler, coffee lover, Peloton fanatic, and believer in the power of community and connection. I'm taking on The Great World Race, 7 marathons on 7 continents in one week, as an unforgettable way to celebrate turning 50.
I'm doing this for the love of running, adventure, family, friends, and the incredible people who make life so special. And when things get hard, I'll remember my why.
But this journey is about more than running. I'm running to raise awareness about suicide and to support Widdy's Work, a nonprofit founded by Reese Widman's parents in his memory. Reese was part of my nephew's baseball team, and his story is a reminder of how important it is to speak up, ask for help, and remind people that they matter.
100% of donations go directly to support Widdy's Work.
Running for a reason
Every mile of The Great World Race is for something bigger than running.
I'm running in support of Widdy's Work, an organization started by Reese Widman's parents in his memory. Reese was a good friend of my nephew and part of his baseball team. His story is a reminder that we need to talk openly about suicide awareness, break the stigma, and remind people that they matter.
My fundraising goal is $7,770, and 100% of donations go directly to Widdy's Work.
When things get hard, I'll remember my why. And I hope you'll remember this, too: You Matter. Asking for help is a sign of strength.
