Did you know?

Did you know that 1 in 4 women will be the victim of a sex crime in her life? Did you know that only 1,000 of 18,000 sex offenders are actually registered? I am running the 2010 Boston Marathon for The ALLY Foundation’s Team ALLY in memory of Alexandra Nicole Zapp who was brutally murdered by a sex offender with 24 convictions. Despite his history and the high potential of a repeat offense, he was walking the streets freely, unbeknownst to the people in his community. My goal is to raise $3500 for The ALLY Foundation and to finish the Boston Marathon while also having fun training and meeting new people who share the same passion for community as I do.
