Rise Against Hunger

Personal Message:

Growing up as a young, talented athlete from Barberton a small town from a disadvantaged background, I faced many challenges that held me back from reaching my full potential. There were times when I began races on an empty stomach, with no choice but to push through despite the hunger. I often went days without proper nutrition, and I felt the impact it had on my performance and well-being. These experiences instilled in me a deep understanding and empathy for others who face food insecurity. They’re the reason I am so passionate about ensuring that those less fortunate don’t have to experience the same struggles. I believe that by supporting Rise Against Hunger, we can make a real difference and give people the basic foundation of proper nutrition to pursue their dreams, just as I was once determined to do.
