Today, I received my commemorative BocoGear trucker 🧢, race bib, and a fun ALIGHT sticker from the World Refugee Day 5K virtual run.

On June 20, 2019 I ran VIRTUALLY with lots of people in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda 🌍 and around the world! 🌏🌎

It felt good to run for a reason. All the funds raised from the run support refugees through the American Refugee Committe (which is becoming ALIGHT) Alight provides health care, clean water and other life saving services.

Thanks to Bib Rave, Represent Running, and Soul Focus Sports for letting me participate in this meaningful race. See you next year!
