Bolder Options will always be near and dear to my heart. I was hired in 2002 to expand its 3-month mentoring and intervention program into the yearlong program that it is today. After more than 8 wonderful years as the Program Director at the agency, I left to pursue a new direction in my career, but I continue to hold the friendships I made, as well as the lessons that I learned, close. And now here I am, 23 years later, and my own foster daughter is on the waitlist for a mentor! Bolder Options works!!
The very first 10 mile race I ran was the TC-10 Mile for Bolder Options 20 years ago, and I am SO excited to run it once again, a little slower and a little more banged up, to fundraise for this amazing lifechanging organization!
Bolder Options challenges youth every day through mentorship and physical activity, helping them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The Bold Challenge is our opportunity to show that we’re willing to do the same. My goal is to raise $1000 and every dollar goes towards Bolder Options. Thank you for your support!
