This quote has become my mantra since December 2015 but, I guess I should back up a little and start this post from the beginning.

Erica Linderman trained and fundraised on behalf of Joyful Heart Foundation to run in the 2016 TCS NYC Marathon on November 6, 2016. She shares her personal story.

I'd like to introduce you to four amazing women: Gracie, Brenna, Beth and Kim. Read about their thoughts on an inspiring journey: roller skating 2,800 miles—from Florida to California—to raise awareness about sexual assault and domestic violence, and $50,000 for the Joyful Heart Foundation.

There [is] some kind of connection between the capacity to love and the capacity to love running. Training has been a labor of love and a learning process.

Read about Katie's plan to jump out of a perfectly functioning airplane on April 28, 2012. Why? To take part in Operation Freefall: The Two-Mile High Stand Against Sexual Assault. It's part of a movement of thousands of others at skydive centers across the U.S. to take to the sky and jump in effort to raise awareness and money for victims of sexual assault.

My organization, “heart-one” stands for my goal to “heal a heart, remove the 1” of the 1 in every 3 young adults involved in an emotionally and/or physically abusive relationship. I want to educate people on the dangers and prevalence of abuse.
