Marianne Bardsley's Story

Hi Friends! Sometimes our stories of why we are fundraising is small or sometimes they are BIG. My story is small. I was recently invited to race with an athlete that needed my assistance. She was a big soul in a little body, that could neither speak nor run. But boy could she smile and make noise! Throughout the race the overwhelming emotions that I had, convinced me this is the path I need to pursue. I cried, I laughed and I sang during our short race. She was smiling and laughing so hard that I had to stop several times to make sure she was okay! For me to be able to lend my legs and arms and voice for her to experience the wind and beauty of moving brought me to my knees. I cried for 3 days following our race. My heart now has a new home. Right away, I knew I wanted to be involved within this community. So, I applied to become apart of the 2023 team and I was blessed to be chosen as an ambassador. I look at my opportunity to raise awareness for this community and bring forth inclusion in sports to the forefront as a blessing. Not for me, but for our assisted athletes. FOR THEM! For them. I am fundraising for The Kyle Pease Foundation to bring awareness and inclusion to sports and athletics for those with a disability. I am excited and ready to race for 2023. Let's help out this phenomenal foundation! Ready, set, go, go, go!!!
