A Cause

I will be running (yes, running) on Saturday, August 11th in honor of my Dad, Mark V. Miller who committed suicide in April of 2010. My goal is to raise awareness, raise money and raise my heart rate as I attempt to complete my first ever 5k. Please click here to learn more about this event, the non-profit organization SAVE, and what you can do to help. No cause is greater to my heart and unfortunately, closer to home. Help me remove the stigma associated with mental health, depression and suicide in order to continue the conversation, raise awareness and promote education so that others may find help.

I will wear my camouflage on the outside to encourage others not to hide what's on the inside.

I hope you will consider making a donation. Donating online is safe and easy and all donations are 100% tax deductible. Anything and everything helps and I sincerely thank and appreciate your support.

DO YOU WANT TO RUN (OR WALK) WITH ME?
If you would like to participate in this event, let me know and I will send you a separate invitation to become a member of Team Camo. Minnesota is lovely in August… *wink, wink*.

    1. I wondered if you would since it's a hobby of yours. You know we live in Twins territory, right? ;)

  2. Would you consider letting your mom run with ya? It would be an honor and a priviledge to help honor your dad who was so close to your heart and still is.
