Hi all! I am very excited to share, in true Nina spontaneous fashion, that I am off to my next crazy running adventure; this time, joining a new group of 11 to run from Diamond Lake (near Crater Lake) to Bend, as part of a 30+ hour relay race! The adventure will include lots of trails, not a lot of sleep, more uphill climbs, and what I am sure will provide countless stories to share with you all after.

More importantly on this adventure, in line with my daily passion to make my actions purpose driven, I am excited to share I am running with charity: water! Access to clean water, and the freedom that results from it, must become a universal human right. On average, it takes just a $40 donation to charity: water for a person to gain *permanent* access to safe and accessible water!

Similar to the many HTC's I have done, the Cascade Lakes Relay begins June 21st, and I am already looking forward to my 2 AM run through the mountains in the dark! It truly adds meaning to an already fun event to be supporting such a fantastic mission, please join me.
