It begins!!!

At Rest Before "Go!" on May 1st!!
I am so excited about this! Let me explain.

Tread on Trafficking stems from the organization love146 - an organization which advocates for and rescues kids who are enslaved by sex trafficking. (It's horrendous; the most evil thing on the planet.) Tread on Trafficking allows each person or team to raise money to help these kids by doing something you love to do (or have vowed to do). For me...it's running!

I thought this would be a brilliant way to incorporate two of my passions - running and my love for children.
Let me further explain what the challenge is for me...I have a stress fracture in my lower right leg, from running. The month of May is the earliest date the doctor has cleared me to run again. So I will be in sort of a rehabilitation time and SUPER excited to get back to running. (Oh, how I miss you, my sweet friend.)

The campaign will run for eight weeks - from May 1st (my birthday!) to June 30th. During that time, I'm looking for people to support this campaign by pledging either for the miles/hours completed or in a one-time gift. If you'd like to get on this awesome bandwagon, go to my fundraising website http://Love146.kintera.org/tread/jenmellick to support me in this campaign.

Let the games begin! I better start warming up!
