Sarah Reynolds here! My birthday wish and commitment…

I’ve had such a limiting belief around running and have really struggled to run most of my life. I’ve had a shooting pain from my foot up my leg anytime I’ve ran, and because of my allergies, a run almost always ends with a pounding headache. So why am I now running?

First, I need to tackle this limiting belief for ME! This is my last year in my 30’s…What I’ve loved about losing 80 pounds, and making my health the priority over the last few years is that NO ONE else can do it for me. No one else can overcome my addiction to emotional eating, no one else can do the workout, drink the water, or take care of my body. I had to, and do…I’ve been gifted one body to take care of, and for many decades, I’ve been SO hard on this body. I need to tackle this very strong hold that has been on my mind that I can’t run, and become a RUNNER!

So, I’ve committed to running two races:

  1. I’m running in a 5k with my dad, Steve Reynolds, the weekend of Fathers Day!
  2. I’m running in the Army 10 Miler with our team captain, Peachy Choochan, and 20 other runners that are part of the EmpowerHome family to raise money for Team Fisher House!

Second reason I’m running is to raise money for two amazing causes that are dear to my heart:

We are $40,000 away from completing the building for an orphanage in Saltillo Mexico!! These beautiful and LOVED babies are currently living in pretty bad conditions!

Steve Poston was called to build it, and my dad, has taken on fundraising for it. We have two levels complete but we need to finish the roof! If you are able to give, it would mean SO much to me, and the precious children who have no parents, but deserve a loving, safe, and nice home to live in. Any gift is tax deductible as it’s through my church, so even if it is $5, I would love to be able to make a dent in the 40k we have left for my birthday!

If you are able, and to give to the completion of the orphanage in Saltillo Mexico, please use this link: https://app.securegive.com/capitalbaptist/capital-baptist-church/donate/category

  1. Put the dollar amount in “Mexico Orphanage” category.

The Fisher House foundation  is an AMAZING worthy cause!! It’s one of the top VA-rated non-profits where MOST of every dollar goes to support our veterans. Fisher House believes and I believe that Family is the BEST medicine. They ensure that our Veterans aren’t away from their families while getting medical treatment!

If you are able, and to give to Team Fisher House and her run in the Army 10 miler, please donate here: https://connect.fisherhouse.org/participant/SarahRuns4FisherHouse

It’s an honor to run for this orphanage in Mexico and for Team Fisher House…I PROMISE to continue training, and to give my VERY best to these runs, if you are able, can you give whatever you are able to one of these two remarkable causes? That is what I want for my birthday, more than anything else If you are unable to give, please keep me in your prayers as I tackle this limiting belief and some physical limitations!! Thank you‌.
