Why I am supporting Safelight's cause... It took me a long time to admit outloud that I had been in an abusive relationship for roughly the last year an d half of my college career. I studied domestic violence/interpersonal partner violence during that time, but continued to do what many people trapped in those relationships do...

I"is it worth it?", "do you really think that's what love is?", and yes, even when said "you study this stuff, you know what this is, why do you let yourself go through this?"

Our Mission:

To raise $85,000 by October 14, 2017, in support of the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking Los Angeles (CAST LA) and it's mission to build a future where Human Trafficking exists.

NYC Marathon 2016 was the most awesome race of all to date. The day was beautiful, the crowd fantastic, and I had a great day in the Big Apple even after taking a spill at Mile 13. Now, seriously ~ who breaks an arm running a marathon? And who keeps running because 'broken' didn't cross her mind? That would be me. What a learning curve!
