I would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the wonderful U of M Minnesota Daily Student Newspaper staff for hosting another great 5K race event this past weekend in support of  ThreeSixty Journalism.

The entire ThreeSixty staff and community was thrilled that we were able to be apart of their busy agenda this year and we are ever so grateful of all their hard work and dedication to making this a fun event for all.

From first 5Kers to runners ranging from ages 3-90, (even a ThreeSixty pup trotted the three mile route) -showed up for a windy race day on the U of M Twin Cities campus to show their ongoing love and support for the program and the awesome partnership that the program has formed with the Minnesota Daily organization.

Thanks to everyone that shared the event on their Facebook walls; who tweeted and got a friend or two to register- you all are wonderful and I am so appreciative of every one of you!

Also I apologize to everyone that had to hear me talk and post about the race on every social medium out there- a million times a day.

I love this program with all my heart and I am always thrilled when I have the opportunity to help raise funds and spread awareness about this amazing program that has done so much for me and so many other young writers with BIG dreams.

I feel  honored to be a part of such a great community; generations of great journalists and friends.
