Help me reach my goals! Over the next month I will run the equivalent of a marathon (42.2 Kms) while training to run a full 5Km on September 8th in support of Help Us Help's Anti-Human Trafficking Initiatives! Before the pandemic I used to enjoy running. To put it lightly, the last 4 months have not been my most fit and so this will definitely be a challenge for me!  I can think of no better reason to get active again... inspired by a great cause.  You can track my progress on here through the Strava app.   

For me, the pandemic has emphasized the challenges many people less fortunate than I are facing.  According to the United Nations,  the pandemic has exacerbated and brought to the forefront the systemic and deeply entrenched economic and societal inequalities that are among the root causes of human trafficking.  All of this has motivated me to raise funds for this important project run by an organization I have come to know and love, Help Us Help (www.helpushelp.charity)!
